Other than the Theory of Relativity and the Theory of Evolution, probably no other concept has been misapplied and overextended more than Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. The theorem applies to Logic (and not any other field) and it merely states that no logical system can be, at the same time, consistent and complete. That's it.
