Did you know that Kurt Godel proved the existence of God logically? (ans: no he (Solon) didn't. It is called prime mover theory. He also proved there is a some theories can be correct but undecidable. -- neither provable nor disprovable. And it is not mere semantics, or zenoic paradox. ) He also showed that in a sufficiently rich formal system in which decidability of all questions is required, there will be contradictory statements. This means that the constitution could be inherently based on religion, but not provably so. You are thinking with god's equipment. De debil made you do it. In establishing these theorems Godel showed that there are problems that cannot be solved by any set of rules or procedures; instead for these problems one must always extend the set of axioms. This disproved a common belief at the time that the different branches of mathematics could be integrated and placed on a single logical foundation. Alan Turing later provided a constructive interpretation of Godel's results by placing them on an algorithmic foundation: There are numbers and functions that cannot be computed by any logical machine. It also means that some people could always be wrong, and everyone could know it, but it cannot be proven so. EC<:-}
