Sorry, I don’t understand your logic.
The theorem of Gödel states that there will always exist true statements that can never be proved and in such statements we can have faith or no faith. This means that I may believe in God on Sunday but not on Monday also because my nervous system is not a deterministic system. There is randomness in the system according to the entropy law.
According to Martin Luther (the founder of protestantism) we have no free will because God is omnipotent and does not play dice. I think he was right in the sense that there can’t be any freedom of choice in a deterministic system. As i see it, the only way to have some freedom of choice, imagination and creativity is to include some random uncertainty into the system. Since our nervous system is a physical system totally ruled by previous history and the omnipotent laws of nature including the entropy law, which solely is about chance, probability and disorder, this may be a credible possibility.
