Besides, there are a few proofs to Talos' divinity in the Elder Scrolls, the ritual Martin did in Oblivion required the pure blood of an Aedra (not the blood of an Aedra mixed in a mortal) Talos' blood was used (though the brush of true paint could theoretically be used). Second, there's prayer, in the Elder Scrolls (unlike in real life) if you pray at a shrine and reciece a blessing, then the diety in question exists, if you don't recive a blessing, then they don't exist. Just look up the Thalmor grand master plan (self titled), someone on the wiki should be able to provide a link (and yes the page is canon as I hear one of the game developers wrote it officially).
