...and please, entertain this from a hypothetical point of view.
I am simply disproving said hypothesis.
1. does nothing to move the conversation along
In fact, it does. Due to blasphemy, God wouldn't have made us to be like Him, yet make it a sin to be so. Also, I just realized, that is Satanic doctrine. Genesis 3 "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Satan himself, the ultimate opposer, said that we could be gods. Since when could God and Satan agree? They are contradictory entities.
2 is the paramount of not respecting opinions.
Since when is stating a fact a form of disrespect? I find that to be ridiculous.
If you went back a few thousand years right now with lots of modern technology, do you honestly believe that the humans of the age would think of you as just another man?
A man with technology. We use technological means to use limited power. God uses nothing to use unlimited power.
If i wasn't planning on blaspheming from the start, why would i start a thread about humans being gods?
People have done some strange things in WEPR.
I think it means that we are made to look like God somewhat, due to the fact that Jesus is in the Trinity; therefore, since Jesus was in the likeness of man, we all look somewhat like Him (we're all people).
Ah, but Jesus wasn't always in the likeness of man. Remember, "the Word became flesh" after man's creation. The rest of your post, I agree entirely.
How can they see that? I will give the example of martial arts as an invention. In a period without them, the power is supplied purely from yourself and what you have learned, how is it that with no true concept of god as anything other than a greater being, a neanderthal could tell the difference between you and a god?
you cleverly dodged the question, while in an age where martial combat is a skill but not an inherent indicator of superiority, you and i can see easily that they are just a man, but without any concept of it, allow me to reiterate, no concept of it, how could cavemen tell the difference?

I will have you know that I never dodge questions. How could a caveman not tell the difference? It's nothing more that striking an opponent in a different manner; a monkey could recognize that.
you dodged it again! No concept at all. literally nothing. how could you tell that they aren't a superior being when they appear in every respect to be one?

You've gotta be kidding me. They don't appear to be superior. I don't know how I can ram that through your skull. There is no way whatsoever that a caveman would think that someone who has mastered martial arts is a god.
So you throw your hardest punch, and the next thing you know you're on the floor. You get up and run at him again, and you're on your back with a broken nose. You get up again and go at him, and then your elbow is broken, while the guy hasn't even moved a step. I think said caveman would be quite confused.
You dont know if there were any cave men. The earlist recorded time is the story of creation, adam and eve in the bible. Humans arnt gods, its clear isnt it? And for everything your saying about "no proof for this" or "wheres your evidence" there is no evidence AGAINST it, you cant prove whats in the bible, you cant disprove it. You have to believe what you want. You believe god has specific "owers" then believe that. I believe god is all powerful and can do anything. You believe that we are gods. I dont. Its that simple. You dont have to rant about finding truth or how this couldnt happen.
Take a story from a book or series or film, and see how they compare it (hint - Stargate SG-1). Is it the reverence paid to them that makes them a God, the context of their used power or the power itself?
Personally? It depends. No amount of power amounts to a true God if used improperly, and reverence does only go for the term "God", but not the actual meaning. Benevolence is the greatest aspect (be fair - you wouldn't pray for God if he was Satan, or even pray for Satan to hear you, now would you? )
