Summary/Abstract: At 200 years after Charles Darwin’s birth and at 150 years after the publication of the “On the Origin of species”, the evolutionary theory elaborated by Charles Darwin and the Biblical creationism are still controversial points of view in the actual theological and scientific media. Although the Darwin’s evolutionary theory represents a real great theory for biology and life sciences, the ideology of this theory in the actual secularized society brings negative effects like racism, genetic discrimination, euthanasia, human being genetic engineering, eugeny and social darwinism. It depends strictly on our wisdom what will we do in the future with this theory for our lives and for our children’s lives.
