Man's mind is finite. God is infinite. The finite cannot grasp the infinite.
Said in Heideggerian terms, the business of thought is beings, whereas that by virtue of which beings are beings (i.e. that in terms of which the sentence "x is" is meaningful) cannot itself be a being, and therefore cannot be thought. (Lots of repetition in that sentence -- could be a doo-wop song.)
