If I may interject a remark, I don't see how the first choice is
rational at all.
As I understand it, the Christian creationist claim is:
an incomprehensible being,
using incomprehensible powers,
for incomprehensible reasons,
created the universe.
It seems perfectly reasonable to me to consider this a completely
unsatisfactory explanation, because it explains nothing.
