How about Lindzi is a prophet of the maker, many different religions call their followers "children."

Lindzi was the prophet/god of the religion of man (assume then don't know about Pulse) so falcie create cocoon as their human farm but lure humans there with tale of lindzi, thus the origins of the analectics. Then as with all things, history gets muddled.

I do like these holes now I must admit, it's a bit like real world history without the need for scrabbling around in the dirt with people with beards.
