After reading through this, I see that you and I are on similar journeys, my brother (although, at 65, I’m probably far closer to the end of mine). Here are a couple things you may find helpful:
1. Check out plasma cosmology. It will change the way you look at “space” (sort of like a real-life version of C.S.Lewis’ so-called “space trilogy”). Electromagnetism is far stronger than gravity. And plasma is every where out there.
2. If you haven’t yet, you may want to check out “Science Set Free” by Rupert Sheldrake
Over the decades, I’ve been compelled to find a way to comprehensively harmonize the logical and artistic sides of my mind, while remaining subordinate to historic Christianity. As a result, I now have what we might call a “semantic worldview” (an alternative to the usual impersonal, automatic, and meaningless one). And I’ve done a lot of thinking and writing over the years on the relationship between mathematics and language--in the process, developing a pretty thorough “theory of abstraction and application” (some of which may assist you on your quest).
How curious that I recently (independently) came across Michael Levin while browsing YouTube (his appearance on Lex Friedman's podcast, to be exact). This was just a few days ago. When I began reading this essay my thoughts immediately turned to that interview.
Believing that God is infinite in his knowledge, power & love makes it easy to believe we'll never understand any more than an extremely small part of the universe.
BTW, you mention the "plague" of 2020, but it was nothing of the sort. It was all about the harmful & even deadly injections for a fake "virus."

Thank you for the mention, but where you cited me, you were quoting Mark Bisone.
Apologies. I had a quote from your post on the Discarded Image, but then cut out, and in doing so, jumbled my footnotes.

Listening to that interview was the inspiration (and last needed bit of info) to finish this.

Agreed
