Yes.   But don't be defensive.    I am not atttacking.

What is Wolfe saying?   Does not Wolfe's fiction accept and transform the
"little gods" - and perhaps accept that as the universe ages its greater
children will be more and more tempted to this status, and need this
redemption?

You may find this a threat, but does Wolfe, who is so wise?

God might work this way.  **really**.   In the objective, primary, world.

That is what Wolfe is writing about, after all.
