Simone Weil wrote quite a bit in Gravity and Grace about contradiction, which I make as contradistinction with paradox.  So many scientists and historians have written about complexity, but I would like to suggest that the real nature of the phenomena in nature and human exploration is complication.  When Nietzsche was writing about the idols’ twilight he was up against what is the postmodernist’s nightmare, which is which God really exists (even if of our creation).  As Michael M. Skolnick writes, “Can we now fulfill our true destinies: to introduce consciousness of evolution to evolution, to become like our old gods by providing attention to evolution” (4).  The atheist is faced with the quandary of what it is nature is doing when it is creating its own gods.  This complication, throws doubt on the light which evolution doing. Is it creating a more complicated scenario rather than what complexity can account for; this may be the gunfire or strike of light behind one’s head.  The look of fear may be the beginning of yearning for some who would dare to imagine smrtghhng god in this world that we do know
