I know about all that shit. Madman 97 did a blog on the Primordial theory, check it out. At one time, every human (Except Redguards) worshipped the All-Maker, so he would have plently of excess power.

Akatosh (The name) was created when they were merged. The et'ada do not truly have names, they never had any. They just exist. And Vivec never really became a god, he only drawed on a gods power, he never really was a god in the first place.

Alduin is not Akatosh, Akatosh is Auri-El, Akatosh simply has traits from both. Auri-El is probably the most accurate version though.

If gods never existed in the first place, who created Nirn? Was it that humans who believed so hard that a god came into existance, created Nirn and sent humans to it?

CHIM does not matter in this. CHIM is the aspect of realizing it is only a game, and you can do whatever you want.
