Is it true that one should divert one's mind from atheistic questions and be content with saying, "Indeed, Allah is capable of all things," without delving deeper into the search for answers?

A Muslim must avoid listening to the specious arguments of atheists and innovators due to the weakness of hearts. The Imams of the Salaf (pious predecessors) would avert themselves from listening to specious arguments. However, if a person hears a specious argument and needs to refute it, they should ask the people of knowledge to remove the doubt. And whoever hears a specious argument and turns away from it, knowing its falsehood, has done well.
