What Godel proved is that each there are statements in a formal axiomatic system that are true but not proveable. A theory does not have to be proven true. That is why it is a theory. So even if you can't prove something about the theory, that doesn't mean the statement is not true.

I would think that your theory does neither say God is an old man with a beard nor say that he isn't. A theory of everything should provide an answer to that question (whether the answer is true or not is a different matter).
You need to explain what "All", "reality", "is", "in", "the", "mind", "of" and "God" mean.
Such are objects in your theory that need to be explained.
If you don't explain them the theory is incomplete.
But a theory of everything would be, by the definition of everything, complete. |
Good points. Are you saying that the theory can't exist because it would need an infinite number of statements? There are nonsensical and inconsistent theories of everything that don't need an infinite number of statements. The answer to any question would be "Yes".
