Inscrutable, yes. Impossible? You are misusing the word. God(s) may no longer be necessary to explain the natural world, but science isn't doing that great a job of it either. Ah, the cosmological constant.1
I have no idea what to make of your "as long as it's understood that this isn't logic but the impossible to interpret". That is not parsing at all.
1. Einstein, when inventing the Theory of Relativity, put in a 'fudge factor' to make the equations make sense. He later decided this was a bad idea. However, physicists later on discovered that yeah, there's a fudge factor in the universe. It's just all of our models say that the cosmological constant should be either 0 or a very, very large number. However, as near as we can tell, the actual cosmological constant is a very small but non-zero number.
