Looks like you need an industry-worth of atheoligical scholars to answer difficult questions.

Nah, Dave. You worry too much. I've dealt with this in my forthcoming volume "Ballightology" in which all awkward questions are niftily circumvented by means of a combination of denial, wordy obfuscation, utter basic incomprehensibility and insupportable ringfencing. I got much inspiration for this approach after trying to read a book written by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Bloody genius I reckon, though I didn't understand a damn word of any of it. Actually, you've changed my mind about the title. As I couldn't decide whether "Ballightology" needed a triple l, I'm simplifying things by adopting your suggestion. Henceforth it shall be known as "Shaw's Atheology: Volume The First". I'm currently struggling a little with my publisher. They demurred when I insisted that I didn't want "Ladybird Books" and a big ladybird prominently displayed on the front cover. I'll keep you posted on that one.
