Why, then, would not God transform into her own daughter?
Can you explain the question, please? I am unsure weather I'm just stupid or if you worded that poorly.
I don't think god has much control of what it transforms into, it has more to do with the nature of the mother and the person who got the mother pregnant with it in the first place.
Still, maybe it isn't required in the reverse case, or god really is transformed into Heather. She lies, locked away in her subconscious, waiting for the day to be physically manifested.
However, heather seems more "born" then "transformed" as god is still there when heather is created. Alessa and Claudia however, are not when god is born. i wonder if there is a reason for that.
I'm just trying to compromise here. And it seemed liked the most reasonable way to do so.
Some gore would be left though. Alessa disappeared in the light, we don't know what happened to Claudia, except that her body did start going through some changes (or she was just melting).
What I think is this. Kaufman throws Aglaophotis at Incubator. Due to the body-image of the incubator weakening, it transofrmed itself to incubus. Incubus dies, transforms to Incubator, gives last powers to reincarnate herself,Alessa+Cheryl=Heather+ god seed, hence the cutscene where Heather expells the fetus.
The Cult seems to use a lot of Christianesque symbolism and draw on Christian doctrine. To me, this could point that seperating "God from God" might be theologically akin to the Christian God and Jesus both being the same being, but also seperate. Not to say that the god of Silent Hill is part of Christianity or anything, just that god could exist as numerous analogous parts.
I wonder if God even exists as a separate being. It's probably just the evil aspect of Alessa nurtured by suffering and Cult's magic.
When Dahlia was talking about some "seed" planted in Alessa's body it may have been just a metaphor for suffering. Or was there some real monstrous seed? Who knows.
Incubus, among other things, means mightmare (Alessa's nightmare)
The only thing that still confuses me is why Alessa as Incubator attacked Harry. If she wanted to die, couldn't she kill herself without his help? I guees Alessa's hatred (=Incubus) made her act that way.
I'm not talking about Owaku's version of the SH1 universe. I'm talking about the original SH1, i.e. before it was modified/"explained" in the sequels.
Don't get me wrong, I love the sequels as much as the next person, it's just more interesting to know what really happened in SH1 as opposed to Owaku's version of the events. I guess I'm sort of a "judaist" when it comes to SH canon.

Owaku worked on SH1 too.

Well, then, it was all just Harry's dying dream in the jeep, obviously.
There's no point or purpose to speculating about alternate elements that could have been retconned away if we have absolutely zero fucking evidence that such alternate elements or tangents ever existed. If you want to see alternate what-ifs, though, I recommend the Play Novel.

He did, but it's widely accepted that Keiichiro, the director, wrote most of the story.

I don't care about tangents either. I'm only interested in what the author(s) considered to be the truth after they finished Silent Hill in 1999. Surely he/they had all the answers. Even David Lynch knows what happened in his stories (even in fucking Eraserhead), so I see nothing wrong with speculating about "vanilla" Silent Hill.

Then I guess you're not allowed to discuss any other Silent Hill game, and if you do, every game must exist separately and have no application to the others.

I prefer more linear approach: when discussing a sequel, I accept all the changes it's made to the previous installments but forget everything that was made after it.
