No Godel has a theorem about incompleteness. It doesn't say NO statement but Some statements. Those statements confined with the structure can be shown to be consistent, hence the notion of mathematical proof. You can't prove that math itself is always true, however, without leaving the confines of the system.

I had a discussion with a PhD statistician friend of mine who called these "undecidable statements". His argument is that many so-called unprovables in philosophy are of the form of ill-posed or ambiguous.
