  • Speaking from Within Science

    Open AccessWojciech P GrygielARTICLEVerbum Vitae2026

    This study examines how the Second Vatican Council’s teaching on science finds a mature and influential expression in John Paul II’s “Letter to Reverend George V. Coyne, S.J., Director of the Vatican Observatory” (hereafter cited as Letter to Coyne). The Council affirmed the autonomy of the sciences, encouraged dialogue with contemporary culture, and called for renewed theological engagement with a world shaped by scientific inquiry. The Letter t…

  • Probability, Compressibility and AI

    Open AccessWojciech P GrygielARTICLEReligions2026References: 31

    This article offers a reassessment of the Intelligent Design doctrine by engaging probability theory, complexity theory and contemporary artificial intelligence. Andrey Kolmogorov’s work shows that chance belongs to an intelligible mathematical order and that complex structures can arise from patterns that admit concise description. This challenges the assumption that improbability signals an external designer and instead points to a creation who…

  • Monogenism Revisited

    Open AccessWojciech P Grygiel, Olaf LizakARTICLEReligions2025References: 28

    Recent attempts to reconcile the doctrine of original sin with evolutionary theory have sought scientific validation for the historicity of Adam and Eve, particularly through arguments for a single ancestral pair. This paper critically examines such efforts, arguing that they constitute a disguised form of creation science, selectively engaging with evolution to preserve classical Christian anthropology. Through biblical exegesis, theological her…

  • Can Quantum Contextuality Help to Understand the Contextuality of Theology

    Wojciech P GrygielARTICLETheology and Science2024

    The precise formal account of the contextuality of the quantum measurement provided by the Kochen-Specker theorem allows for a unique insight into the nature of the contextuality of theological language. The conceptual analysis carried out in this paper has demonstrated that despite of the methodological difficulties in juxtaposing theoretical physics and theology, legitimate bridges can be established between them whereby quantum contextuality m…

  • Michael Heller’s Theology of Science in a Trinitarian Perspective

    Open AccessWojciech P Grygiel, Krystian KałużaARTICLEScientia et Fides2024

    This paper explores the program of theology of science proposed by renowned Polish physicist and philosopher, Michael Heller, with a particular focus on its ontological dimensions through the lens of Trinitarian theology. Firstly, an overview of the status and current discussions of theology of science is presented. Next, drawing on Heller's key texts the Trinitarian doctrine is used to enhance the intelligibility of the Universe, wherein the dyn…

  • The doctrine of the intelligent design from the point of view of the cognitive science of religion

    Open AccessWojciech P GrygielARTICLEScientia et Fides2019

    The doctrine of the Intelligent Design offers an intuitive explanation of why the ordering in the Universe is authored by an intentional agency. Due to its appeal to common-sense perception, this doctrine is endorsed even by scientifically literate circles despite of its obvious contradiction with the discoveries of science. In this article, an attempt to apply the tools of the cognitive science of religion to the appraisal of the methodological …
