Nope, I mean, no more than I entertain the possibility that I don’t really understand anything. There’s no reason that I shouldn’t be able to understand the concept.

Really? So it’s not possible that a concept is graspable by some people, but not by others (in this case you?). I disagree very much with that statement - I think there are many concepts that I don’t get but other people do, and vice versa.

That’s because that’s really highly advanced science, and you need to understand a lot of other things before you understand it.

Well, sure, and if I’d put in a bit more effort I might have got my head around it, since I did fairly well in some other areas of similar complexity.

Maybe if you put more effort into understanding the notion of “god”, you’d wind up getting it? ;)
