You are asking a question that, perhaps, a mathematician can answer who is
well-versed on Godel's results and other such things. Of course,
mathematical proofs do not prove the existence of anything, that is to say,
do not bring anything into being. Proofs are mathematical games that
indicate logical consistencies. To prove the existence of God means that you
are bringing God into being, which is nonsense. Moorad
