light can be measured. light exists. there's no such physical thing as "darkness" that exists, you cant measure it, it's merely a concept. the concept of darkness is that it's directly and conversely related to a measurement of light. now if you wanted to say "god doesnt physically exist, he's just a concept" i would agree with you insofar as he's a fictional character in an old anthology. but to say that the concept of god is that he's what cant be understood would be an anti-concept. it's rationally unusable.
