I did argue that the Aedra were more powerful. It is also pointed out by some, inluding that Mehrunes Dagon servant in Oblivion where you have to kill him in his paradise or whatever, that Lorkhan wasn't even an Aedra. While this may or may not be true, it could mean that the Divines still retain some manner of immortality and great endurance. For instance, perhaps why Lokhan was killed so easily was because he wasn't Anuic, which represents stasis, thus rendering him vulnerable to change. The Divines are more Anuic in retrospect, thus giving them certain advantages of retaining their great power, even if some of it was lost in the making of Nirn. They still very well could be immortal. Heck if they were not, they would have died about now. I think the point you're making is not that they lost their immortality, but they lost their invincibility.
