Wow. I loved this so much! Incredibly well written and well thought out points, and as usual, epic pictures.

It reminds me of something I once heard, the reason that we say אין כאלוקנו and then מי כאלוקנו, shouldn’t we first ask the question and then answer it? But with G-d, we first have to have that base of faith, אין כאלוקנו, before we start looking for answers to our rational, מי כאלוקנו, questions.

Thanks so much! That's a beautiful idea and I wish I'd heard of it before I wrote the piece, it fits perfectly. Something I tried to get across here was that doing so is not 'irrational' as creating a baseline perspective is something everyone has to do.
