The universe is so ghastly big, and doesn't behave like we think it should. Atoms and subatomic particles are so horribly small, and they do whatever the heck they want. And we're in the middle. We can explain much, because we establish rules of thought on how everything relates, but it isn't quite so. In 2D terms, a circle will never be a rectangle, but comprehend a 3D coin in 2D thoughts, and it could be perceived as both a circle, and a square, but not at the same time.
Also note that we as people weren't created in a whirlwind of good and evil, but out of the purpose of joy. As in, "Wow, this world is amazing! Look at all that God has done!" And that the Sabbath is central to our way of understanding God. We stop and see His goodness in all of this. And it's all about Him.
Enter Christ, stage left. Did astounding things, said somthing about new wine and old wineskins, called some God-people a brood of vipers, healed many and fed many. Was horribly tortured and killed. And then he wasn't dead anymore, and we think about a 3D coin in 2D terms (You can read more about Him elsewhere, but I'm going to cut the story short). Left us with the distinct impression that there is something more about life than what we thought. And we understand that God wants us to be reconciled to Him, because we were created for joy.
And some other parts I didn't quite follow.

How is a 3D coin in 2D a rectangle? Sideways?
