Isn't one of the implications of Gödel's incompleteness theorem that there will always be unanswerable questions?
Only if the questioner is consistent.
And there's no way to tell whether the questioner is inconsistent, or there exist unanswerable questions, right? [In any case, I would be greatly astonished if "What is the final fate of man?" was found to be isomorphic to a human Godel sentence ;-) ]
