Also, Akatosh and Alduin are not the same being. Time and time again in Skyrim, the player is told that Akatosh gave the Dragonborn his blessing for the purpose of defeating Alduin. The Greybeards make this especially apparent when they tell the Dragonborn this. I don't expect the Greybeards have a direct line of communication with Akatosh; how would they know this without it simply being an assumption? I would trust the word of age-old dragons over mortals, despite their hubris, over the matters of gods.

Anyways, AngryEnclageSoldier, I like your theory about the gods, but I don't find it compelling. Granted my knowledge on TES divinity is rather cursory, but I have a hard time believing that the gods are so easily created, as your theory suggests.
