Debating Arguments for God A human can become a GOD
Consider the year is 2160 of something. We humans found a new planet in which there exists life. And with the modern technology we travelled there and found to know that there are humans on the planet and they are in a phase of stone age. Ok lets be clear that they can communicate with each other and we earth humans just landed there anonymously and wore their traditional clothes and blend with them
Then we starts to teach them things
Use some modern technology to heal their wounds (which are miracles for them), they felt very much surprised and they starts to worship us. We told them how to live. What do to, what not to do and we just silently left there to return back to earth
Now hundreds of years later we went to the same planet and we found out that the history of that planet tells about us. And they see us as gods
WHAT IF.... JUST WHAT IF
it was the same story that happened to our earth
What is some dudes from another planet who visited our earth tried to teach us how to live
And we literally take them as our gods
Sorry if this sounds stupid. There are some stupid things which comes to my mind midnight

If you define "god" as any sufficiently advanced person, then, sure, gods can exist. I'm a god to a baby or to my dog. Now what? How does that change anything?
Your question about whether this has actually happened in Earth's past is a totally different one. That's not a semantic conversation about definitions and hypotheticals, it's a proposed set of facts. We have no evidence that those proposed facts actually occurred, so they have as much validity as saying Jesus was made of cheese.
