5. It's actually the afterlife, we simply don't remember our real lives
Note, that I don't believe in 2-5, but it's trivial to simply state reasons for its existence. And 2-5 are no less fanciful than your three gods in one, with one sacrificing himself to himself because humanity sucks so bad.
Fixed that for you we do know the age of the universe.
True, but we don't know anything pre-Big Bang (for obvious reasons). If it's a cyclical event, then I don't mind putting forth #1, because even though each Bang may create a different universe, the cycle remains.
