I hear you (and I obviously made a bad inference re: your background - apologies), but there is a distinction to be made between large-but-finite (computable? halting?) and infinite (non-computable? non-halting?) sets.

We can't comprehend the universe using numerical methods - it's too complex for our brains/computers.

But we can understand complexity using symbolic methods.

Symbolism/representationalism (religion) is rather inevitable part of the human condition.
