((I have a potential solution for this inconsistency! The Law of Divine Multi-Origin! (AKA: Plot bullsh*t)
"The Law of Divine Multi-Origin, or as I prefer to call it, the Law of Headache-Induction, in the barest of terms, dictates that it is possible for contradictory information to be legally present when higher divinity is involved. This is why there are accounts of gods which in some depictions are male, other times female, sometimes born mortal, sometimes omnipresent. All of these can potentially be true at the same time due to the way divine presence tends to warp the very fabric of existence, despite the fact that this explanation is the highest order of utter nonsense, and does not actually apply to any laws. But here I am, writing about this, because despite it being trash-worthy pseudoscientific crap, it is also, by virtue of its own existence, both false and, unfortunately, true." -Unknown
There were divine beings involved in the deeper part of the crap I was pulling together before, and since they were sort of around when the universe went kaput, it's quite possible their presence caused screwy reality shennanigans due to this law which I just made up which is based on another law I made up quite some time before now.))
