It would only be reasonable to believe in 4 if we ruled out all possible explanations, not just all explanations we currently have.
People cannot move forward with their lives if they will only believe things after excluding all possible explanations. Possible explanations are infinite. That goes for pretty much any belief. Do you believe Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth? In doing so, have you excluded all possible explanations of Lincoln's death, like maybe a time-traveling alien doppelganger of Booth? I doubt it.
Yet - and this is going to shock you to your very core - most people are fully capable of moving forward with their lives without ever worrying about who killed Lincoln. And astonishingly, albeit for a lesser proportion of the population, the exact same goes for the question of gods. It's almost as if the topic is irrelevant to their daily lives.
I know; it's the end of civilisation as we know it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
