There a a number or aspects of our physical world which millennia ago were contradictory and unexplainable - 'a mystery' until science explained it. The terms 'contradictory and absurd' are often nothing more than 'we don't understand it at all'. At the subatomic level many of the laws of physics seem not to apply. Particles exist and behave in manners that are contradictory and absurd. The arrogance is in thinking that something is wrong because you personally cannot understand it and fit it into your mindset. The universe is bigger than you. God is vastly bigger than you and your understanding (or not) of both doesn't alter their existence in any shape or form.

Reminds me of the George Carlin bit about going to Catholic school -- when obviously self-contradictory or patently absurd tenets of the Faith came up and got questioned by students, the priests would answer "Well, it's a mystery." Gee thanks, father. That clears it all up.
