Our little lumps of grey matter are still bound to thinking about things that don't explode our heads via logical contradiction. That's why you can't actually envision a square circle, a married bachelor, or a four-sided triangle. The moment that theology conjures something that violates reason it effectively removes it from human knowledge. Such a deity might exist but you'd never be able to understand it in any fashion. It would be much less Biblical and a lot more Lovecraftian.

In the appendix to one of his works, Plato argues that what the gods comprehend, mortals cannot, and vice versa.
Unless there is something beyond the bare claim here, this has all the hallmarks of an appeal to authority fallacy.
