No. No human mind (here on earth) can probe the limits of the Almighty. We need him to reveal to us what we can know and we need to use reason (also a gift from God) in conjunction with revelation to find out other things, especially since we can know what God is not.
At best dogma and theology paint a picture much like that of the impressionists... like Monet or Cezzane, what we see of God in dogma and doctrine, reflects the beauty and mystery of God without being God Himself. Dogma and theology then invite us to give ourselves fully over to He Who Is mystery. They are necessary so that we can know about God and therefore more ready have faith in God (how often people don't believe in God because they think his love to be like that of their parents).

That there is no limitations on what God can do. There are however things that God cannot do: sin, lie, be unholy, be unloving, change. God is Love and God is Holy and He reveals Himself to men, the greatest revelation is in the Man Christ Jesus, who was God made flesh and dwelt among us, and we have beheld His Glory as the Only Begotten of the Father, who was full of grace and truth. In Him was Life and that Life was the Light of men. He was fully God as if He never was man, and fully man as if He were never God he was the God-man. There is no deeper mystery than Christ no higher relationship that can be possessed but - in Christ.

Nope. If we could fathom all the mysteries of God what would be the point? We can't probe the limits of Him because He's too big. You can do whatever you can in the time you're given. And you can know whatever He desires you to know.

God is infinite, I am finite. I see a little bit and that poorly - but when we get to heaven, and the veil is lifted, I will see more clearly. We have eternity to learn and know God - and still we will never fully know Him.

Maybe not, but at least science tries. If the believers had their way we'd still be drilling holes in peoples heads to let the evil demons out.

Show me a probe that can detect the non-existant and I'll put it into service detecting virtual quantum particles.

How can anyone fathom the tooth fairy? Or the invisible pink unicorn? They are creations of our mind, yet they have surpassed us.
