Closed logic and its incorrectness

Logic is the most solid column of science and philosophy. Usually, it is being considered the first condition of the intellectual activity.
What is the logic? If I’d define in a few words, it is a relative connection between many causes and many outcomes. For example, 2+3=5, because 3+2=5; because, (1+1+1)+(1+1)=5 and so on. We can make longer these sequences. A common principle that logic has to has a basic. And new ideas form on this basic. That is to say, if you want to be aware of existence of 5, you have to comprehend 1 itself. But, we don’t have to add one million “1” together in order to express a million. There is no difference at all, but cutting into small pieces may complicate our explanation. In other words, we can express a million through 10^6 or 1000^2. Here it comes to the end with the sequence of cause and outcome. Outcome is going to be the cause of the next step. And I think, this is an endless process.  That is true, all logical order can be false, if we couldn’t identify exactly the basic(in my example “1”).  As we know, if we want to express a million we have to use “1”. It is a conditional term. Supposing that if we couldn’t realize “1” precisely,  all logical order in this case would suppose false.
Logic is a main principle of science. Supposing that three scientific theory: gravitation, thermodynamics, and evolution. The hundreds of other theories based on these theories. If someone can disprove one or two of these theories the thing which we named as science would be send to a junk container. Forever. But the logic of science is not one dimensional, scientific method is not based on straight line. This logic is like a web.  A complicated spider web. If the theory of evolution happened to refer only to anthropology, it will be more likely to be false. In fact, the evolution theory doesn’t refer to one field of science.  If it did, it will be more doubtful , and the logic of the theory will be questionable. And this logic closes by cycle. But we have genetics, it creates link between evolution as a cause and an outcome. But we have biochemistry, it connects genetics and evolution either. And now it can be considered a solid base for the theory, it is very difficult to disprove the theory now.
So, in a scientific method a “straight line logic” doesn’t work. If you want to show one cause for one outcome, you are definitely going to be wrong.
What is the closed logic? This logic is like a cycle, so this cycle includes one cause for one outcome. A few outcomes prove a few causes. As we already know, if we have a few evidences for one theory, it is more likely to be wrong. It is being required to find many evidences to prove a few ideas. Suppose that, I quote from the source of “X”(for example book), and if I want to prove this claim by new quote from the same source, this is not scientific, but dogmatic. This is the closed and incorrect logic.
Logic is a critical approach to every connection of cause-outcome. Closed incorrectness comes from blind faith. If the cycles of logic are going to be narrow, it is more likely to be incorrect.
P.S.: Sorry for rude mistakes.
