\"Circular reasoning\" is a method of false logic, by which \"this is used to prove that, and that is used to prove this.\" It is also called \"reasoning in a circle.\" Over a hundred years ago it was described by the phrase, circulus in probando, which is Latin for \"a circle in a proof.\"

There are several types of circular reasoning found in support of evolutionary theory. One of these is the geological dating position that \"fossils are dated by the type of stratum they are in, while at the same time the stratum is dated by the fossils found in it.\" An alternative evolutionarily statement is that \"the fossils and rocks are interpreted by the theory of evolution, and the theory is proven by the interpretation given to the fossils and rocks.\"

Elsewhere in this Encyclopedia, we will find that circular reasoning is also used in regard to other evolutionary \"proofs,\' such as the origin of life, genetics, and mutations. The theory of natural selection is almost totally dependent on curricular reasoning.

As we will see below, geologists admit that this circular reasoning exists as a fundamental pillar of geological faith. For example, in a 1979 interview with *Dr. Donald Fisher, the state paleontologist for New York, Luther Sunderland, asked him: \"How do you date fossils?\" His reply: \"By the Cambrian rocks in which they were found.\" Sunderland then asked him if this was not circular reasoning, and *Fisher replied, \"Of course, how else are you going to do it?\" (Bible Science Newsletter, December 1986, p. 6.)

\"The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately. Stratigraphy cannot avoid this kind of reasoning . . because circularity is inherent in the derivation of time scales.\"—*J.E. O\'Rourke, \"Pragmatism vs. Materialism in Stratigraphy,\" American Journal of science, January 1976.
