It is funny how some folks seem to think that they first have to have all of their questions answered before they will commit their faith to God and the Bible. They want every theological t crossed and i dotted. It reminds me of the person who refuses to get in the car and begin their trip until every light is green.
This of course will never happen. And, what's more, we do not submit other areas of our life to this same scrutiny. We board airplanes all of the time without fully understanding the laws that propel that plane into the sky, and trust our lives to it We drive automobiles without fully understanding how an engine works, and trust our lives to it. A complete understanding is not a necessary prerequisite for doing these and numerous other things.
I submit that the same principle applies to God and the Bible. A complete understanding is not a required prerequisite. In fact, it is an impossibility. The finite can never comprehend the infinite.
Even though I do not understand how electricity flows from somewhere far away to my house, and even though I do not understand how that electricity powers a light bulb; and even though I also do not understand how that light bulb's filaments heat up and produce this miracle of artificial light, I still believe that when I flip the switch, light will appear. I do not have to understand in order to believe.
Do you understand? Do you believe?
