And yes it is true that he would be able to understand some things that we could not, but we would not be as babies to him. Human adults have the ability to reason and deal with complex question oh philosophy and ethics. Compared to God? Your statement is an opinion, but not a fact. Two year old children have some abilioty toreason and deal with questions of philosophy and ethics (they know perfectly well when something seems unfair), which to them probably seem complex, but to us seem not so. The problems in ethics and philosopy which we consider complex may well be trivial to God. Basically, I see no way in which we can prove, or even reasonably argue, that we are intellectually on the same plane as God and therefore entitled to have him/her/it try to rationalize his/her/its actions to us or believe that we have any capacity to understand his/her/its reasons for acting.
