Abstract
One of my colleagues, a Ph.D. in philosophy who has been reluctant to speak out publicly against evolution, privately expressed his concern. He said, "Evolution is a dogma and not a science." This is a very serious charge because there are a great many disciples of Darwin in the scientific community. I believe, however, that a critical analysis of the literature onevolution justifies his statement. A scientific fallacy in evolution may be seen by noting that its whole superstructure is built upon extralogical considerations. Extralogical considerations are the extensions of a proposition beyond the scope of true logic. In evolution, an extralogical error occurs when phenomena with observable limits are cited as evidence in support of an unbounded proposition.
