The first question becomes what the hell are you even trying to prove. "God" can mean virtually anything, it appears to have no hard definition whatsoever. At least, not one that isn't violated constantly by people talking about the subject. I tried getting people to define it on here and it was a tumbleweed fest mostly. I have no idea what the entry level requirement is to become a "god" and how you can tell one from a super powered alien with thousands of hit points and incredible seemingly "magic" powers.
I never understand the non sequitur between "something outside our reality that created all this" and "all powerful superbeing". In my mind, the most likely scenario if such a creator exists is that our reality is some sort of representation of a process going on in another reality. Of course, what the hell "reality" or "real" means are also extremely difficult questions. So I imagine some cock ring is running a simulation, and he's just a regular inhabitant of whatever reality he is in. Or we represent some actual process going on, like a side effect of it; this is all one big emergent property somehow.
What I certainly don't think about is our friend Kevin working at Simulations4u having omniscience and omnipotence just because he can run a damn simulation.
Obviously I'm speculating and imagining here as much as anyone else, but I would hope somewhat more realistically so
