Thoughts?

Nope.

I'm afraid you've rather missed the fact that the god of the bible is such a vastly stupid idea that the chances of it being what actually happened are so small that it's not worth considering.

Sometimes "we don't know" needs to be followed with "but I know its not that"



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
