You guys say that it's natural to not be able to understand this stuff, there are a lot of unknowns and we really don't have answers, but reality is not constrained by our ability to grasp it; if something is true then it is true, whether we understand and acknowledge it or not.

As you say stuff can be true whether we grasp it or not. But unless we understand it, we don't have knowledge. The truth isn't knowledge just in case it is true. The truth only counts as knowledge if you hold it for the right reasons. Faith doesn't turn a hunch into knowledge, even if it were true.
