I suppose that's one take.
I don't know, I've battled between agnosticism, atheism, deism, etc for some time now.
Ah indisputable fact is, that the energy that fuels us, makes us what we are - will be in this universe forever. Does that make energy itself, the universe, us as the observers, God(s)
Or perhaps if God is to mean an ultimate being - could another alien civilization be so advanced, they could essentially control all activities of a planet, or change the course of history for animals as simple as us?
If, with what little piece of the universe we take up, are sentient and have some form of free will - does the universe itself have a will, purpose, or connection?
Quantum entanglement is where things get exciting... But does it describe an inherently connected universe, anything greater at play?

No.
At least not for any recognized or meaningful definition of "god".

Personally i find the idea of aliens being the gods of ancient times to be a far more plausible and compelling hypothesis than a supernatural being.

@Pikachu some deem nature as God. Some themselves. I think "God" can be very personalized, just like religion.
But I do understand that's not the same as some ultimate being/deity.

@SW-User Yeah i think when we start defining "god" that loosely it becomes essentially meaningless.
