Of all the explanations, the Buddhist philosophy seems to be as close to sanity as it can get. Just imagine, no S.Beast&Co, no "tribulation", "rapture", 144,000 people magically being transported to heaven, standing to be judged before a "heavenly committee" and other such nonsense.
In fact, we could say it mirrors what happened 2500 years ago when the Buddha walked the earth spreading his teachings and elevating the moral, physical (health) and spiritual state of people around the world, which isn't as hard to believe as the son of god magically creating a walkway through the ocean, and unleashing plagues of locusts etc.
