Can a bacterium understand Einstein?
Of course you are looking for the answer no, but, what if the bacterium is filled with the Holy Spirit???
Consider this: if the Gospel writers were all perfect in their writings, there would only be one Gospel; or else there would be four clones (or 60 or 80 clones) identically written.
You just implied that we can not know God, or what he does, or why he does the things he does...
And then you chose yourself to figure out that the scriptures are imperfect because God didn't write them your way...God's not quite as logical as you, eh???

An interesting thought. I suspect that if the bacterium was filled with the Holy Spirit to be able to understand us, it would no longer be a bacterium, just as for us to be able to understand God, we will have to be changed in similar form:
1 Peter 2: 3 3 4 His divine power has bestowed on us everything that makes for life and devotion, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and power. 4 Through these, he has bestowed on us the precious and very great promises, so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature, after escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.
Sharing in the divine nature - not that we become gods, but that we are transformed into something else that we are not.

Read the words. I said that if the Gospel writers were perfect in their writings, there would only be one Gospel, or multiple clones. Your claim does not follow from my words.
And then you chose yourself to figure out that the scriptures are imperfect because God didn't write them your way...God's not quite as logical as you, eh???
Which Scriptures did God write?
The Holy Spirit would have to change the nature of the bacterium qua bacterium. A bacterium is not a rational animal with a fallen reason.
For the bacterium to understand Einstein it would cease to be a bacterium or would be a new kind of bacterium.
