Oddly, you seem to be giving the same weight to every interpretation to a deity. I, at one point, thought along the same lines until I realized exactly how lazy that position is. It allows one to just sort of bop along in life without really giving great thought to the matter. There is an answer, there is a truth. We just have to find it. At the end of the day, I'll bring my evidence and you bring yours and we'll see which one holds up to scrutiny.
The easiest way to show that there is an ultimate truth is the ponder on this statement:
"There is no ultimate truth."
For the statement to be true, the statement itself would have to be a universal truth, thus negating itself.
The primary difference in position, again, is that we're able to say "I don't know". We don't shoehorn in fanciful tales of supernatural beings to cover our lack of understanding.
