If there are divine beings, who's to say that there's only one God?

One might argue they believe in a greater force of some kind, but the idea that there's only one god lacks credibility. Surely, all the conflict in nature and the world around is proof that there are multiple gods at work.

"Saying that there is one god just because it makes sense," lacks explanation and reason. The argument is wanting.

One might argue they believe in a greater force of some kind, but the idea that there's only one god lacks credibility. Surely, all the conflict in nature and the world around is proof that there are multiple gods at work.
 

Such an argument is thousands upon thousands of years old. The Greeks, the Romans, the Norse, the Hindus, and even modern day Pagans hold this belief.

 

While the complexities of nature seemingly reveal some cosmic interplay and conflict pointing to the existence of multiple gods and/or goddesses, all of these complexities hang upon one primary concept.

 

There exists that which is evidence of Life. All things either flow from a place of life or are separate from it, and most religions acknowledge this point.

 

That said, such a source of life must certainly be all powerful. Such power surely holds weight, and such a source wouldn't need to be made by human hands or be in "need" of anything.

Such a God would create all that is and would do so because that God needs no one else to do so. That God would want to be recognized as the sole Creator, and that God would maintain sole sovereignty over time itself.

Different nations would not be under different authorities. Rather, one God would be all powerful and reign sovereign.

All people would fall under the authority of that God, and He alone would provide.

​

The concept of angels and people, followers or separated, does not support the idea that God would create other deities, as these types of creations are not deities and were never made to be. If they were ever to be referred to as "gods" in English, in the lower case sense, it would simply be to connote some concept of being a spiritual creature - created by one Creator.

Reference Points:

1. Most of my above points rely on Acts 17: 22-34, Paul's message to the Areopagus. There are other points that could be made, but I don't want to get too in the weeds here.
