Default Re: Gödel

I have read it. Bruce is not right. If you doubt me attempt to prove that the root of 2 is irrational without assuming that any proposition is either true or false.

I believe there is some confusion. What Godel proves is not that there are some statements that are neither true nor false. He proves that there are statements which are impossible to prove either true or false. That the statement does have some truth value is not an issue. In fact it is an assumption that it does.
