I am a great fan of Albert Einstein and share his lifelong determinism. I also regard Leo S. Berg as the greatest evolutionist of all time because he shared Einstein's determinism. These two have been instrumental in the development of my Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis (PEH) which proposes that organic evolution was determined in advance and is now finished. For a full exposition of my evolutionary views I refer you to my web page -

I am interested in how others may respond to this approach to the great mystery of our origins.

Since I see no responses as of September 16, 2011, I must assume that no one is interested. That is a sad commentary on the dominance of Darwinian atheism in present day evolutionary science. The Darwinian model is a total failure as an explanatory thesis and should have been abandoned the day it first appeared in 1859. Instead it has grown steadily until today it has become the law of the land, largely due to the pernicious influences of Paul Zachary Myers and Clinton Richard Dawkins and their predecessors Ernst Mayr and Stephen Jay Gould, atheists all four.

I am disappointed that the atheist inspired Darwniian paradigm continues to dominate evolutionary science when there is not a shred of experimental or fossil evidence to support Natural Selection (NS) as the means by which evolution took place. Quite the contrary, all available evidence indicates that organic evolution is finished with the present biota. All we see at present is rampant extinction without a single verified new replacement species.

In short -

"A past evolution is undeniable, a present evolution undemonstrable."
John A. Davison

Accordingly, it is my opinion that the entire sequence must have been "planned" by an unknown number of intelligent "entities" that are no longer involved, the "plan" having been fully realized with the present flora and fauna.

Phylogeny (evolution) finds the perfect model in ontogeny (the development of the individual). Both terminate when the final state has been reached, the only remaining fate being extinction, the evolutionary counterpart to the death of the individual. Without a "planned" extinction there could never have been a "planned" evolution. Furthermore, there is no question that all the necessary information for the production of an adult organism is already present in the egg. All that is required is the stimulation of the egg to begin its development, a stimulus that need not involve the sperm.

Furthermore, as near as I can ascertain, sexual reproduction is incompetent as a creative evolutionary device. It is much to conservative and is basically anti-evolutionary in its nature. I have proposed the Semi-meiotic Hypotheis (SMH) as the mechanism for true speciation, a phenomenon apparently no longer in progress.

What say others?
