Pretty good musings, even if they ultimately lead to a cop out. It seems to me that there is, as you point out, a horizon of incomprehensibility, but that there are also pointers through analogy. Is the origin of the universe more like the Great Monkey Hypothesis, or the Logos hypothesis (the Logos need not be personal, but might be). The first assumes an infinity of universes, either multidimensionally or temporally, until one gets one in the right sequence. The second assumes that there is an implicit order which is worked out through time. The problem with the Great Monkey Hypothesis is that there is something impelling the aggregation of potentially meaningful elements, whereas in the world of physics, there is only entropy. Thus, it makes sense to accept the Logos hypothesis, that there is a (metaphysical) force for complexity, order, construction, i.e., the Logos. The Logos might be identified with the Nature of the Stoics, the Dharma of the Buddhists, the Prime Mover of Aristotle, or the Tao. It might also be Brahma, or the Fates, or the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Those are further considerations. I will it here for right now........
