Endless maze

Our next stop is logic. It’s another branch of math. The incompleteness theorem of formal systems proved by Kurt Gödel in the middle of the 20th century literally saying that there is a true statement which can not be proved. In the syntactic version of this theorem we can see that every formal system is imperfect because it either contains a contradiction inside (that means it’s useless) and at the same time it is complete or it isn’t complete but it contains no contradiction. That’s why God existence really can not be proved. Because every axiomatic formal system (everything that God created) has a limit and God is limitless. He has no body, no form and that’s why He is limitless and complete and He has no contradictions in Himself. I’ve noticed that most of the people (catholics for example) trying to build their own world outlook as fast as they can. That’s why they are always building the complete system and theorem of Gödel saying that any complete system always contains a contradiction. I understand this type of thinking: it’s much safer and more convenient to think that you know everything and not to think about the mistakes in your worldview. And as we know from math, any model containing the error is of no value at all. To my mind it’s much better to build your own world outlook that contains no contradictions in itself – that’s number one task. And it has to be in that case incomplete. Like you are always has a space inside of you for expansion your system. And of course you always have to be ready to ruin or at least partially fix your system if you notice that your system contains a mistake and in this case you should start to build it again. That’s the fastest way to learn.
