The Evidence of Evolution
Korda, Petr ; Dvořáková, Radka (advisor) ; Lhotský, Josef (referee)
In this thesis I addressed myself to the literature search of the evidences supporting evolution by natural selection. The aim was to present and describe these evidences. I focused myself on the evidences from the field of paleontology, biogeography and on the similarities based on anatomy, morphology and molecular biology. The conclusion from the literature search is that there exist many arguments supporting evolution by natural selection and further also that proponents of alternative theories try to falsify evolution. The contribution of this thesis is presentation of arguments supporting evolution and also description of arguments against evolution and outlining the problems connected with teaching evolution. Key words: Evolution, evidences, Darwinism, Neo-Darwinism, intelligent design, creationism

The creation of new poetry in the poem Altazor by Vicente Huidobro
Janíková, Katarína ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Poláková, Dora (referee)
The intention of the thesis is characterization of the innovative poetry, which appears in a composition named Altazor o el viaje en paracaídas by avant-garde poet Vicente Huidobro. In the beginning, I will focus on describing the situation, which anticipated the creation, partly I will present an author`s background and artistic circles, where he used to appear in. He was influenced significantly by francophone environment. Part of his work, including fragments of Altazor, was even written in french language. Consecutively I will describe the evolution of his literary creation to the moment of writing the Altazor. During this period Vicente Huidobro introduced his own literary movement - the creationism. I will subsequently compare fundamentals of the creationism with the ideas of the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset expressed in his essay named The Dehumanization of art. Here I will focus on describing the perception of literary creations at the time of writing both pieces and also I will outline characteristics of "new art". Then I will analyse the composition of the Altazor itself with regard to composition, language and themes. I will place the most emphasis on thematic analysis of the composition, where I will focus on usage of recurring motifs. In the language analysis I will explain...

Evolution vs. Creation: Where the Truth Lies
Miklošová, Zoana ; Lhotský, Josef (advisor) ; Stella, Marco (referee)
The debate between creationism and evolution remains vital after 80 years. Creation Science, represented by Young- Earth Creationism (YEC) and Old-Earth Creationism (OEC), denies fact of macroevolution and postulates based on Genesis model of separately created species. Thesis submits brief description of creationistic model and compares it with Darwinian idea of descent with modification from common ancestor. Primarily, the scientific and methodological merits of Creation Science are examined. In last two decades the position of Creation Science was rather decreasing. On the other hand, new phenomenon Intelligent Design (ID) became widely known. Although philosophical starting-points similar as creationistic ones ID introduces new arguments for supernatural design. This work analyses main tenets of ID - specified complexity and irreducible complexity of organisms. Again, ID's arguments are judged on its explanatory and methodological merits in confrontation with evolutional concepts reflecting recent post-neodarwinism development in biology. Key words: Creationism, biological evolution, Darwinism, Neodarwinism, Intelligent design, falsifiability, methodological naturalism
