At 32 paragraphs your essay was too long to read word for word, and philosophical musings aren't my bag; so I don't know if your thesis about God and the Devil vis-à-vis Anaconda is valid.

I believe it was Will Rogers who said, "I never met a physical I didn't like."

I've actually noticed this myself. There's a hidden story behind the surface of this movie that can be understood if paying close attention to the clues. I figured it out when noticing the name of the boat that guides them in their journey. They focused a shot or two on it. I knew there had to be a reason for it, so I did some research then came to this realization.
