“But you can't prove God exists. And isn't that what all science is ultimately about? Proving theories about the universe?"
"Provability is not truth, Caro. Godel's incompleteness theorem tells us that, if we didn't already know it intuitively, which we do.” ― Anna Jarzab (The Opposite of Hallelujah)
What exactly is Godel’s incompleteness theorem?
"Gödel's incompleteness theorems is the name given to two theorems (true mathematical statements), proved by Kurt Gödel in 1931. They are theorems in mathematical logic. Mathematicians once thought that everything that is true has a mathematical proof. A system that has this property is called complete; one that does not is called incomplete. Also, mathematical ideas should not have contradictions. This means that they should not be true and false at the same time. A system that does not include contradictions is called consistent. Gödel said that every non-trivial (interesting) formal system is either incomplete or inconsistent: [1]
There will always be questions that cannot be answered, using a certain set of axioms;
You cannot prove that a system of axioms is consistent, unless you use a different set of axioms .
Those theorems are important to mathematicians because they prove that is impossible to create a set of axioms that explains everything in math."
(https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3% ... s_theorems)."
In other words, not all “truth” has proof that we can see – sometimes it is intuitive. Many people ask for evidence of God, claiming they cannot see proof of God in any way, but they may not realize proof may come in other forms. I am NOT here to prove or disprove God - you can do that on your own time. Again, I am not here to argue whether or not God exists – you can reach your own conclusions. It is also important to note that I understand that Godel’s theorem is about mathematics, but I still feel that its general notion can be applied to other areas, like spirituality.
To reiterate, this post is not meant to prove or disprove God. If you hate God, this post may not be for you. Rather, this post is to discuss that hypothetically, if God did exist, then here is how and why “they” would hide him. Let’s start with how.
