Universally defensible(epistemology and argumentation)
Able to be justified or supported as true in all cases or situations, without exception.
disqualifies(as the logical consequence being discussed)

divine transcendence(as a theological concept that philosophical language must respect)
The idea that God is completely beyond and above the physical world and human understanding—so different from creation that normal rules might not apply to God.
