Cool sidebar, but you're both missing the thrust of the op imo.  The short comment about meaning was a prelude to the notion that the god-making attribute is meaning-making.  

OP concludes that if an alien being did it, he's a deist.  Which is actually spot on.  The meaning maker is not personal. 
OP concludes that if people did it, he's a polytheist.  Spot on again, as the meaning makers are both personal and numerous.

Meaning, at least in that statement, expressed as victory and liberation from evil and it's consequences.

-but I could, ofc, have gotten that totally wrong.
Yeah that won't happen for anyone, with or without God. Things are meant to suck, in this realm.
