"علم اللاهوت هو ببساطة جهل بأجنحة"

Simplified Meaning:

Thinking about theology this way means recognizing that sometimes people use complicated ideas about religion to cover up what they don't really understand. Imagine someone talking about how the universe works but using big, fancy words without really knowing what they mean. They might sound smart, but they are just hiding their lack of knowledge behind impressive language. For example, if a person talks a lot about why bad things happen in the world by saying it's all part of a divine plan, it might just be because they don't really know the answer and are trying to explain away their ignorance. By dressing up their lack of understanding in religious terms, they pretend they have the answers when they actually don't. Instead of pretending to be knowledgeable with fancy words, it's often better to admit when we don't know something and seek better understanding. This can help us learn and grow more effectively instead of staying stuck in the dark.
