A humorous variant of Gödel's ontological proof is mentioned in Quentin Canterel's novel The Jolly Coroner. [26] [page needed] The proof is also mentioned in the TV series Hand of God. [specify] Jeffrey Kegler's 2007 novel The God Proof depicts the (fictional) rediscovery of Gödel's lost notebook about the ontological proof. [27]
He formulated a formal proof for the existence of God known as Gödel's ontological proof. Gödel believed in an afterlife, saying, "Of course this supposes that there are many relationships which today's science and received wisdom haven't any inkling of.

In the context of philosophy, the term is commonly used in critiques of ontological arguments for the existence of God and the principle of divine simplicity. [1] [3] For example, Gödel's ontological proof contains as a theorem, which combined with the axioms of system S5 leads to modal collapse. [4]
Kurt Gödel (1925) The proof of Gödel's completeness theorem given by Kurt Gödel in his doctoral dissertation of 1929 (and a shorter version of the proof, published as an article in 1930, titled "The completeness of the axioms of the functional calculus of logic" (in German)) is not easy to read today; it uses concepts and formalisms that are no longer used and terminology that is often obscure.
Fx ↔ ∃y((y = [10] × [k]) ∧ Axy). k = the number of symbols appearing in Axy. Fx formalizes Berry's paradox. The balance of the proof, requiring but 12 lines of text, shows that the sentence ∀x(Fx↔(x = [n])) is true for some number n, but no algorithm M will identify it as true. Hence in arithmetic, truth outruns proof.
