I love the breadth of your writing and the depth of your thinking. And, as is probably no surprise, I agree with you on the religion of science (or should I say, "Scientists", in the same way The Economist refers to Islamists"), it arrogance of belief that it knows everything it needs to know in order to know the world.

As for poor Olaf, things didn't end well for him...

Sadly, yes.

Actually, another e.e. cummings poem also comes to mind:

Jehovah buried, Satan dead,

do fearers worship Much and Quick

(etc)

Who dares to call himself a man?
