Well, would it be OK for me to say it's the work of Satan?  It seems 
kind of odd to define "God" as "that which I don't understand." I mean, 
if you're going to start giving attributes to God, such as omnipotence, 
benevolence, etc, then you *do* think you understand something about God.

If you're just going to say "when I say flying saucer, I *mean* UFO", 
then sure. But you've just eliminated one of those two words.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't just call it "unexplainable".

Including God.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
