Of course this is possible. Think of God. It is a concept beyond understanding yet He exists. In this world, possibilites are endless. Some things were made not to be understood by the mind, but be absorbed by the heart. No need to experiment, just an act of faith.

Sorry, but "yet He exists" does not follow from the fact that you think so. Reference the ontological argument and its failings. If your very simplistic and circular reasoning represents the mindset of the 14 voters who said yes to this poll question, then I have nothing to worry about.

My heart (and mind, as well) says that god *doesn't* exist. Therefore it's a personal issue and relative to the person. "Yet He exists" has no meaning towards me; it is your opinion and has nothing to do with me.
However, I would say that quantum mechanics is quite incomprehensible to most... and it exists... so in that way I would have to say "yes" (but I put "no" because I figured this question was about god).
After much scrutiny, I have decided that this thought bears no more scrutiny. I will write more about the distinction between believing in a fundamentally difficult concept and a fundamentally illogical one later.

That thought bears scrutiny. I will explore it later, after dinner.
