Philip C's video: G del s Incompleteness Theorems and His Argument for an Afterlife

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems and His Argument for an Afterlife Godel's belief in the afterlife. In his article "Incompleteness Theorems Point to a Hidden Realm" Physicist Eric Heiden discusses Princeton's Alexander Englert's recent article "We’ll meet again". Heiden quotes Englert "The incompleteness theorems proved (in broad strokes) that, for any consistent formal system (for example, mathematical and logical), there will be truths that cannot be demonstrated within the system by its own axioms and rules of inference. Hence any consistent system will inevitably be incomplete. There will always be certain truths in the system that require, as Gödel put it, ‘some methods of proof that transcend the system." Heiden then states "The logical extension of Gödel’s incompleteness theorems therefore describes an infinity of progressively higher realms of reality., which is consistent with the Judeo-Christian idea of an eternal God." Which fits hand in glove with Robert Marks article "A Mono-Theism Theorem: Gödelian Consistency in the Hierarchy of Inference" where he and Winston Ewert found that "through application of Gödelian reasoning, there can be, at most, one being in the universe omniscient over all other beings., The conclusion results simply from the requirement of a logical consistency of one being having the ability to answer questions about another." Heiden also quotes this from Englert "From [his Incompleteness Theorems], Gödel concluded that the human mind transcends any finite formal system of axioms and rules of inference." And indeed both mathematics and logic are, as Michael Egnor pointed out in his 2018 article "Naturalism and Self-Refutation", immaterial in their foundational essence, thus necessitating that the human mind must also be immaterial just in order to be able to have some meaningful comprehension of those immaterial entities. In her article "Gödel’s Defense of the Immortality of the Soul" Denyse O'Leary summarizes Godel's argument for the afterlife "If the world is rationally organised and has meaning, then it must be the case. For what sort of a meaning would it have to bring about a being (the human being) with such a wide field of possibilities for personal development and relationships to others, only then to let him achieve not even 1/1,000th of it?" Englert summarizes Gödel’s conclusions as consistent with the Apostle Paul’s statement on the immortal nature of the human soul. As Englert puts it: "Our lives and bodies in this lifetime are only seeds, awaiting their destruction, after which we will grow into our ultimate state of being." Englert also notes, "For Gödel, St Paul had apparently arrived at the correct conclusion, albeit by prophetic vision as opposed to rational argument (as Godel had done)". It is also important to realize that empirical science also supports the reality of an afterlife. Breakthroughs in quantum biology reveal that quantum information is ubiquitous within biology. And seeing that quantum information is 'non-local', which means it requires a beyond space and time cause to explain its existence, and that it is conserved, then this provides a 'mechanism' for the soul. As Stuart Hameroff put it, “the quantum information,,, isn’t destroyed. It can’t be destroyed.,,, it's possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body. Perhaps indefinitely as a soul.” As well, the higher four dimensional spacetime of special relativity reveals that light is timeless, which are aspects that find surprising correspondence in Near Death Experience testimonies.
