When I say incomprehensible to the human mind, I mean something we couldn't understand. Not the idea of god itself. I mean any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. If you took a 3D printer back to the middle ages, you'd hear cries of "WITCHCRAFT! WITCHCRAFT!" and then get burned at the stake.
That's not really true, but I don't know that the misconception actually speaks for or against what you're trying to express. Fun fact, both the concepts and terms used in the majority of peoples understandings of the world around them have existed for thousands of years, dispersed through time and geography, granted, but not in any way indecipherable by those we mistakenly label as "primitives". Full modernity was reached @50k years ago. Whatever you know now, would have been as easily understood then by "them"...."then".

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
