This is the sixth and final article in a series describing the chapters of the book "Draft of the Deductive Theory of Life" in a very concise and accessible way. This chapter is particularly polemical, pointing out the main contemporary problems in evolutionary biology stemming from the traditional rejection of abstract reasoning methods, i.e., classical deductive theory. These include the debate on whether MS should be replaced by EES, which arose from the appreciation of epigenetics, including Lamarckian mechanisms; and the related problem of generating evolutionary changes that are immediately adaptive. These problems involve plasticity and "developmental bias," which in their discussion typically overlook the role of natural selection that created them. I recall here my proposal for a theoretical systematization of developmental bias, which met with strong resistance for publication.
