If a truth cannot be expressed, then how can you know what it is? As soon as you can start to tell me what truth can be known without being expressed, you're expressing it.
So yes, it is no-sense and nonsense.

Looks like logic can't get into Edg's mind. If an advanced society even thought of coming to this backwater planet, God would be the last thing on anyone's mind.

"The silence of the singularity can be sussed out. That which math and physics cannot measure are yet actual.
Non-sense, yes, but not no-sense. There are truths that cannot be expressed but which are knowable. Ask Godel."
Short but intensely word salady. Kind of like a bag of extra strong wild rocket.

This is fair enough until it gets to the last sentence. In fact, the whole of what proceeds it makes better sense if one starts from an atheistic point.

OMG that is totally not what Gödel said. He showed that in any axiomatic system of math large enough to handle the natural numbers, there will be expressions that have no truth value, i.e. which can be added (as either true or false) as a new axiom without breaking the math. This means that there is no "complete" axiomatic basis in math, ever.
Compare and contrast to the horseshit you just said.

"God hates Vulcans!"
These people will just direct their hatred at newer and newer targets as society progresses.

- You mean an advanced society like the conquistadors? They talked about god like they actually knew it. Nothing scary about them, was there?

The first astronomers probably were. You can probably see where this is going.

If they come bearing cookbooks and giant foreheads, RUN FASTER!

If they come talking about God in familiar terms, they are almost definitely lying to us to gain trust, after monitoring our culture for a while. Which means they're hiding something and attempting manipulation. Which makes them way scarier than just being powerful and alien can achieve.

If they're speaking about god, they won't be very advanced.

"If an advance society comes to us and is not speaking about God, then RUN!"
Considering "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "2010", then your God had better RUN!
And 'Edg(y)' here had better not watch the film "Prometheus" then, if he knows what's good for him. Genesis of the Xenomorph. One word: Engineers.

Pretending that fairy dust is more important than science. Pathetic.
