Yes I would say there are at least two other possible explanations. In fact there are infinite possible explanations.

But I have to say the two possible explanations you mentioned are the least likely and most unfathomable, of any of the infinite possible explanations.

[Lord_Baltar]

I dare say the best possible explainations are those we won't find until after we shirk this mortal coil, and find out first hand.

Until then it's ALL just perceived interpretations and biases.

None of this, Religions included, can be proven conclusively.

[Quix]

I can readily accept that they might be unfathomable to you.

They don't seem to be to a number of other discerning, experienced and perceptive people hereon and in my own life experiences.

. . . including a couple miraculously rescued from alcoholism in India.

Otherwise, I'm not real positive that I have much of a clue what you're going on about.
