My proposed possibility posits nothing extra. It is no more complicated than the alternative.
Well again, "no more complicated" is not the way scientific method starts. You start with the LEAST complicated first, because that is where you will find the most likely answer.

Are you proposing that there is another concept that cuts out an assumption I've unwittingly overlooked?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I am a proud sheep of the Lord's. He is my shepherd, I shall not want...yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (athiestforum) I will fear no evil, for thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

That was oddly sexual.

I concur, it was the rod and staff bit that did it. How hard was his rod?
