I will explain to y'all to disprove your ridiculous theories. Otonashi is not the creator. He is a human soul that is destined to be in the Afterlife to fulfill Kanade's request. The episode "Another Epilogue" is only an alternate ending created by the crew due to fans' requests. But the real ending in the canon is Otonashi leaves the afterlife and lives in the real world, reincarnated.
