Lemony SnicketJust because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.
About This Quote
This quote is a great example of the idea that something can be so complex that it defies our understanding, but still be completely true. For example, the human brain is one of the most complex objects in the universe. It took millions of years for it to evolve. It has more neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
Yet, despite its complexity, we understand how it works on some deep level. This suggest that there is some truth to the idea that "just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so."
