Gods, for their part, are so low on the temporal causal chain and the essential causal chain that their injection in a discussion of the subject is risible.
They're characters in stories that we tell. They depend on very much else, and have a severely limited range of effects. If the explanation of things were a road stretching from the west to east coast...we find our own position somewhere very near the eastern seaboard...and gods are right there in the car with us. Which is to say that they aint exactly lounging on the beach in Cali. Neither of us explains much of anything in the grander scheme. Hell, so far as we can tell..we're older than they are..so unless they've got some power we don't know about and didn't possess to grant them in the first place...in addition to the potential for backward causality such that they could create the world they would, many billions of years later, inhabit....
............they're DOA.
