Yet the bible states it is folly to try and attribute human thinking to God.

Why is suggesting God is beyond our thinking an escape? It's written in the bible that God's actions are beyond human understanding.
And since it's written in the Bible it must be...the words of human authors. I think passages like that are a convenient escape clause to excuse believers from having to even try to think clearly and logically about their gods. It's so blatantly obvious to everyone except those who have bought into that mindset and can't remove the blinders from their eyes.

as an atheist you view everything in terms of pre thought out human logic and demand everything follow those lines.
I demand nothing, and what good would it do me if I tried? No, what I see is a world full of natural processes that act consistently, while religion asks us to disregard the evidence we can observe and quantify and instead imagine a thing which goes against everything else we witness around us.
