Eh. Fair. Wasn't quite as physics-grounded as I was expecting, but I can't say 'that's dumb.'
For me, this being the basic reality is comfort enough, with or without a creator, a great ancestor, or any other figure which did or did not shape the man-being into something capable of pondering these matters. 
The simple fact that we are, for me, in a base reality situation, implies to me that we are First Order Gods, with the entire composition and image of the universe being a Zeroth Order God. 
In the tales of the Norse, there is speak of Fire and Ice existing in the Great Yawning Void, and these came together, to create Ymir. 
From Ymir, the first humans were found, and the Giants were birthed. The Giants and the humans joined, on occasion, until a new tribe came to be, and similarly to the west, the Fey and Humans joined on occasion, spawning the Aesir and Vanir, respectively. From them, humanity was brought up to its current state, with the three peoples of Man--the thrall, the industrious, and the ruler--being taught their roles accordingly. 
Taking this apart, it is reasonable to venerate Ymir as a Zeroth Order God, for their body was used to shape the world, once slain. From this body, humans arose naturally. For this, I accept a very wide gap in events, with Ymir's slaying being the moments matter and energy were given context, resulting in creation. 
The Aesir and Vanir, born of hybridization between prehistoric human tribes, and by extension, modern humans, are to be considered First Order Gods, in that they have real and tangible effects on their world, whether their power is recognized as divine or not. 
Regardless of supernatural divinity or not, I do believe regardless, and there is nothing to be gained in pining for supernatural providence when one has means to enact temporal and mundane providence. If the supernatural divine does exist, then it will show itself to those who catch the attentions of any god-like being who can can care.
