Father Jaki is the author of more than two dozen books on the differences and similarities between science and religion. He was also among the first to recognize the significance of Godel's Theorem for Theories Of Everything (TOE) in theoretical physics. Godel's theorem states that any non-trivial mathematical theory will be either incomplete or inconsistent. Since any 'theory of everything' will certainly be a non-trivial mathematical theory, it must be either incomplete or inconsistent, thus dooming searches for a deterministic theory of everything in which all the parameters are defined internally and consistently. This position was later supported by Stephen Hawking in his lecture "Gödel and the end of physics" {Link without Title} .
