hi Karl,
To quote Richard Feynman:" I can safely say no-one understands quantum mechanics"
However, in my opinion it is better to die trying to understand, rather than to pin one's hopes on untested assumptions piled on top of more untested assumptions, which is what one does when religion takes over your thought processes.
Another benefit to trying to understand scientific issues is that oldtimers disease can be staved off by the brain exercise. I have had my fair share of religion and can say that envy is one of the cardinal sins, so go forth and envy no more.
