I think you guys are slightly off course here.
Godel's theorem states that a mathematical or logical system is incomplete because it cannot describe itself fully. But you CAN develop a meta-system to describe it fully. Only snag is, you then need a meta-meta-system to describe the meta-system fully.
​
So, if you want God to describe (undrerstand) the universe, then you need MetaGod to describe God, and then MetaMetaGod, etc.

Mike.
