Or did I miss read your post?
Not at work.
I thought I clarified this. I was simply referring to how God accomplishes His plan in us being a mystery at times because there are things that will happen in our lives that don't make sense at first, but make sense once He reveals the reason behind their occurrence. It can seem counter-intuitive at times, but ultimately God knows what He is doing. That's all I was saying.
His overall plan for the world is a mystery to those who don't understand the purpose of evil, which you can read about here if you like:

The math works and it doesn't violate what we know of physics. What we can get our minds around doesn't seem to have much bearing on what actually is.
This is just a bunch of garbage. The simple fact of the matter is that there is no reason for anything at all to exist without God as an explanation. Nothing has no reason to do anything, can't create anything, can't exist as anything other than nothing. To posit that the universe, which has no will or awareness, could ever exist on its own is patently ridiculous. God makes sense because He is supernatural and truly unbound by physics or math or whatever other form of science you wish to call upon. He is the only rational explanation for the existence of the universe, and anyone who claims otherwise is in denial or totally deluded.

Jesus Christ Himself called the saints gods: Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’...(John 10:34)
Not that I have a high opinion of myself. You mistake confidence for arrogance, and my confidence isn't even in myself, but in Jesus Christ.
