Creation versus evolution: from The origin of species to intelligent design

Abstract

In this article, the authors provide a historic outline on the creationistic idealism and the evolutionistic empiricism and they expose some reflections about the different epistemic value of both views. While the evolutionism resists the empirical contrast and has a sufficient resolutive value in the prediction, the creationism generates an irrational explanation of the diversity of the living things out of the biology. Although historically several attempts of exploiting the science had arisen, they have ultimately failed due to their intellectual weakness.
