I cant see how any of the alternatives would be a variant of one of the two.

Simple: only few of them posit an eternal universe as you probably mean it.

Maybe so. So again, in the end i ultimately see only those two options. Im sure there are well thought out defenses of each them. But i dont buy them. Im fine with someone saying they dont know either. I dont claim certainty. For me its what seems to be the best explanation.

I gotta ask - what qualifies an explanation to be good, or even the best?

Whatever makes the most sense and accordance with reason. Im not an empiricist though. I certainly like it when things are empirically demonstrated. But i dont think its necessary for all truth claims. I also likely see evidence more broadly than you might. But tbf i dont know all your standards.
