The issue here is not about human abilities, per se.
It is about whether the question itself has meaning,
i.e., does it make sense to ask what caused the
universe to exist given that we cannot even conceive
of its non-existence? I think the answer to that
question is no.

As Minsky is quoted at the URL posted here previously,
there is something wrong with the question.
