I think the answer is found in Job 38:

Get ready to answer me like a man;
when I question you, you will inform me.

Where were you when I established the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.

Who fixed its dimensions? Certainly you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?

What supports its foundations?
Or who laid its cornerstone

while the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Who enclosed the sea behind doors
when it burst from the womb,

when I made the clouds its garment
and total darkness its blanket,

when I determined its boundaries
and put its bars and doors in place,

when I declared: “You may come this far, but no farther;
your proud waves stop here”?


Any God capable of creating the Universe is so vastly beyond humans as to be unquestionable. If you think of the vastness of the universe, and the Infinite God who created it - if there is a Creator - then all human wisdom is less than a drop in the oceans!

If God did not create the universe, then by what standard do we judge anything? And if He did, then who are WE to judge HIM?

Excellent post.

But I do believe that God invites us to TRY and understand Him. And by trying, we grow closer to Him.

And yet non-believers continue to argue on that premise. It's the same trap I mentioned: almost all atheist arguments presume God doesn't exist, then demand us defend our beliefs as if He doesn't exist. Dawkins calls God "the most unpleasant character in all of fiction" without ever establishing WHY God is fiction. They think they have every right to judge the Supreme being on human grounds. It's like an ant trying to comprehend how a cell phone works.
