There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to understand the physical world around us. God made us to be curious creatures. So, that's all good ... BUT, using our limited intellect to try to understand the physical workings of this universe does not give us insight into the unknowable mind of God. We can certainly try to comprehend some of what God physically put in motion around us, but we don't have the capacity to see into, let alone understand, the mind of God.

The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
