"A small number of scientists claim that Gödel's incompleteness theorem proves that any attempt to construct a TOE is bound to fail. Gödel's theorem states that any non-trivial mathematical theory that has a finite description is either inconsistent or incomplete."
That's from the Wiki, FWIW. I'm not big on using Wiki as a source.
"Babbling religiously" is right on the line in my opinion. It makes you sound like an arrogant jerk. If you have problems with the content of the comment, state your case in neutral terms.
Learn to live with other people's ambiguity and looseness in phrasing. Then perhaps they'll be more forgiving of yours. (Downmod)
You appear to misunderstand the meaning of the terms "inconsistent" and "incomplete" in the context of Gödel's theorem.
"Inconsistent": There is at least one statement within the system that can be proved both true and false.
"Incomplete": There is at least one statement within the system that is true, but cannot be proved to be true within the system.
Since Gödel's theorem applies to formal systems in mathematics, it does not say anything about the possibility or impossibility of constructing a "complete" (whatever that means) mathematical description of our reality.
