Gödel's incompleteness theorems
Gödel's incompleteness theorems are postulates for the existence of the-whole-of-Maths-encompassing Mind.
Our mind seeks understanding.
We strongly hope, some even believe, that things can be completely understood, ultimately.
We refuse, or find it extremely hard and mentally painful, to believe that there can be things not fully comprehesible by minds.
The natural, so to speak, instincts of the human mind combined with the impossibility of an axiomatic completion of Maths postulate another mind. One that is able to axiomatically complete Maths, even if it were to happen on a higher level.
This, it seems so far, can only be God's mind.
