My statement is about the comparative difference between humans and God.
Perhaps I can call it an uncertainty principle. Our ability to understand
God's creative power (i.e. how did He create the universe?) is limited by
our capacity for holding the requisite number of facts in correct
juxtaposition in our comparatively feeble little minds. I agree that God
reveals Himself to us but that revelation is limited by our intellectual
capacity. Do you think that when we get to heaven we will able to find the
answers to all our scientific puzzles?
