Abstract:
This book is unique in the manner in which science is linked to metaphysics. Evolution theory is opened up in a whole new way by dismissing the unscientific notion of chance as the driving force of evolution, thereby rejecting natural selection as a mechanism of evolution. The case is made, instead, for evolution driven by the necessarily law-abiding behavior of all of the matter and energy of the universe. A theory is then proposed for the evolution of genotypes that dispenses with the absurd notion of gradual phenotypic change.
