Circles
At first we say "All is a mystery, God alone knows all." Later, with the fever of knowledge, our story is "All can be explained with Science." Later still, in the maturity of knowledge, we change our story to "Nothing is explainable: all is chaos."
Thus we go forever in circles. We are like monkeys, letting go of one branch to take hold of another. We will never see the Truth if we refuse to come down from the trees. The wise see the precariousness of life in the trees, and return to the earth. Is not the earth more faithful?
