- Has anybody had a look at Paul Davies article "Is nature
- mathematical?". I only browsed over it but I got the impression that
- he confuses the questions of undecidability ("1st order logic is
- undecidable" [Church]) and incompleteness ("Every consistent extension
- of Peano arithmetic is incomplete"[G"odel]). Any comments?
