Hypothesis Two....(completely different)

[Angrboda]

That was a hypothesis? Sounded like just a bunch of senseless rambling to me.

The concept of "knowledge" is greatly overrated. Science doesn't deal in knowledge but probability. Philosophically, the problems with knowledge are manyfold and difficult to reconcile. (See Gettier problems; I believe I know the solution to Gettier problems, but the solution doesn't bring us any closer to the ideal of knowledge that we desire.)

I think it is an instructive exercise to replace every instance of the name of one's god with "Shub Niggurath" and see what that does to the sense of your argument. If the sense is preserved, you may be on to something. If the sense changes, then you're probably engaged in wishful thinking. When I replace "Kali" with "Shub Niggurath," I go from "The Dark One; She Who Destroys" to "The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young.” I think that's close enough for government work.
