In order, I said:


 * 1) Humans may not be originally from Remnant but are descended from marooned space miners who were forced down onto the surface after an industrial accident caused the moon to break apart; just in case there is any confusion, no the miners did not come from Remnant, they were from another star-system altogether;
 * 2) The Grimm are caused by human negative emotions playing on the dust pollution left in the planetary environment of Remnant after the accident;
 * 3) On the surface, due to the sudden appearance of the Grimm, the humans lost their original histories and mistakenly believe they are native to Remnant;
 * 4) Cinder is a member of a cult who have determined humanity's real origins (or at least something relatively close to it);
 * 5) The movement of which she has a member is developing what they believe are the means to return to their 'true home'. In order to facilitate this, she wishes to make Remnant uninhabitable to humans by destroying the Kingdoms, the only really secure human habitations (apart from the Cult's hidden base).
 * 6) Once they no longer have any safe refuge, humanity will rush to the Cult's welcoming arms to complete the space arks and return 'home'.

Insane? Yes. Sociopathic? Yes. An unbelievable plot for a fantasy animé? No.

Please specify what is hard to believe. my problem is the second half of 1., that they were miners in communication with earth, and that after that they had what it took to re-populate.

Ultimately, I have a problem with just how specific this theory seems to be with so little evidence. If you attempt to concept a creation theory, keep it fluid and as empty of detail as possible, it should be like a mad lib that you can then fill with multiple possibilities that make sense... and to me this mad lib seems "filled in" with some explanations that don't really seem to be the best fit for the blanks, and those that are left blank have very limited answers because of how you filled in the others..
