It is interesting to note that the emergence of omnipotent deities who are limited only by possibility begins right around the point where we begin (in any society) to quantify and categorize the natural world and our observations relationships to possibility. This, following tens of thousands of years, at least, of believing in limited gods. Not even the hebrew god was, as you put it, a super scientist before it was hellenized. It was a god of one thing, or a specific boundary of influence - both in what it could do and in who it would do those things for - additionally, it could be defeated by mundane things. All of this survived in case of the narrative of old magic book - as the hellenizers were mostly focused on new magic book.
The way we see the natural world around us has a noticeable effect on how we see gods. In the post classical world, that's the lord of a clockwork universe - but only because we understand evaporation - as opposed to a spring spirit and a river god and an ocean titan and a wind dirge and a rain sprite.
