> All theories in physics are logically closed. That is to say, physical theories do not "leak out" into the nonphysical realm. However, evolutionary theory is not logically closed, since it is ill-defined. Accordingly, evolutionary theory "leaks out" into other areas of human inquires. Herein lies the whole problem.
Goedel's theorem says that theories in physics (to the extent that they're mathematical, as they should be) cannot be logically closed.
Of course this says nothing about where the leak(s) may be.
