Not quite. Singularity refers to not knowing because of lack of evidence. "God works in mysterious ways" generally refers not just to things we can't explain, but to things that absolutely contradict what is otherwise said about god, i.e. god is all loving and all powerful, but children are dying due to hurricanes. It's as if we went on believing in gravity despite things falling up randomly about a third of the time as "gravity's mysterious ways," rather than realizing that there was something fundamentally wrong with the theory of gravity.
Wrong Jenny, A singularity is evidence your theory is incapable of describing that very thing you are calling a singularity. Scientist are incapable of telling us what is at the center of a black hole.....so they call it a singularity. Bible thumpers are incapable of explaining all of God's actions....so they say His ways are mysterious. Both explanations really amount to "I don't know".
