“The more we refine our understanding of God to make the concept plausible, the more it seems laughable”

Simplified Meaning:

When people try to make complicated ideas about God easier to understand, it sometimes makes the idea of God seem less believable or serious. Imagine if someone tried to explain how a magician performs tricks. At first, the magic seems amazing and mysterious. But if the magician explains every step and detail, the magic might not seem so special anymore. This can be the same with beliefs about God. People might start with a big, powerful idea of God. But when they try to fit this idea into simple, clear explanations, it can make the whole concept feel less impressive and more like a human-made story. So, while it’s good to think deeply and try to understand, it’s also important to remember that not everything can be explained in a way that keeps its original wonder and importance. This thought can help us stay open to mystery without feeling the need to explain every detail, keeping some things special and awe-inspiring.
