Some Thoughts about Creative Evolutionism


Abstract

In this paper an alternative approach to the Darwinian one is presented. The basic assumption is that the creativity observed in nature is not an illusion, but part of an objective reality. In the new picture evolutionary progress is not a result of successful accumulation of mistakes, but is rather the outcome of designed creative processes in the genome.
