But the other option in the title , the '... or something else' - you have already ruled out discussion of a scriptural dimension because you don't like it and don't consider it 'rigorous' I guess? Hardly seems like a discussion, more like a lecture
Maybe you should reread the OP and decide for yourself if that’s what he means by “something else”. If “something else” means any reality and not the one we’re in, I suppose wondering if extra-terrestrials has something to do with the great reset.
