No one can tell when a God or Goddess comes into being. At some point there is enough of something that gives rise to them. But their life is within the life of the current universe. They begin during it, and will end with it, if not before.
As the universe coalesces into structure and form. The primal life forces coalese into these structures. Imbuing them with spirit and a sense of life.
As matter further coalesces into galaxies, stars and planets, each get their own concentrations of spirit and life.
When we get to planets, we have the potential for Life Energies to help bring forth biological life. If that bilological life blooms and gets complex enough. Its experience can reverberate back into the plain of Spirit Energies. It is from this interplay that Gods and Goddesses can arrise.
In these places the life forces can give rise to a diversity of Gods and Goddesses. Some for specific areas, seas, jungles, Polar, etc. Some for specific aspects of life. Reproductive: sex, children, family Life Cycle: Learning, maturity, mastery, decline and death Social: Family, villiage, City, Nation, These facets are mixed and matched, With Gods and Goddesses staking out their own turf.
It is not true that complex biological life creates these larger spiritual entities. The spirit energy is already there. But the biological life can contribute personality, meaning and purpose to these entities. So Humans can not by themselves create divine like spirit beings. But they can help define, give attibutes to such beings. Thus the Gods of different human cultures may be as similar or different and the underlying society that helped coalese them into personas.
Gods and Goddesses should have the same primary charge. To shepherd and grow as much life as possible. But they do get caught up in their spere of influence. Like if you found yourself the God or Goddess associated with a particular culture You would probably be focused on the survival of that culture. Thus they tend to be focused in growing and nurturing life in their own areas for their own purposes.
This isn't to say these Gods and Goddesses only interact with that culture. They may spread and be known by a wider rage. They may shift or merge into new cultures. They may fade, grow, and merge with other such entities as cultures interact. But they are connected to the beings that helped define them and give them a life of their own.
