I have this idea, but I cannot explain it, and you wouldn’t understand it if I could. But I know it’s right, so you ought to believe it.

The article is not an argument for believing in G-d. It simply points out that for those who do believe in G-d, His ways are beyond human understanding and beyond human "justification."
Those who do not believe in G-d, on the other hand, have a different problem: how anything can be labeled "objectively evil" in the absence of a Creator and his unknown purposes.
“It simply points out that for those who do believe in G-d, His ways are beyond human understanding and beyond human ‘justification.’”
How about when God clearly explains Himself, and why He is doing what He is doing...is that beyond our comprehension?
Deuteronomy 9:5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Actually, the whole chapter is God explaining “why.”
