I take it from your equation stuff and on where the fight is held that you agree with me. Awesome. Also, I probably would fall for Dibella's trickery, that hot sneaky devil, and finally, your last thing. Since when did killing off worshippers do anything to the Divines? This isn't Percy Jackson! Also, we don't know exactly what happened to the Dwemer, heck, maybe we never will. Maybe thy angered a Daedra, maybe they squeezed the heart of Lorkhan the wrong way, but we can never know until Bethesda provides us with an explanation.

Alright, so I hope this final note will put this Daedra vs Aedra business to rest.

The Aedra and Daedra are both powerful and weak. The Aedra are strong because they have demonstrated their power again and again and through Lorkhan's trickery, they were incapacitated, down but not out. Through agents such as Martin Septim, they can still exert their power over Nirn, and repel any Daedra who try to attack. The Daedra are strong because, as beings of change, they will probably learnt to adapt to the absense of the Aedra and grow ever stronger, but they are not stronge enough to directly confront an Aedra, not yet at least. Using Akatosh as a prime example, he is able to repel powerful creatures away by simply working through humans, such as Martin Septim or granting the dragonblood to the Dragonborn, (That was him who gave it to us right?). Again bringing up my Daedra Time theory, Daedra are only strong enough to exert their will to be in another world for a short time before they are sent back.

It has also been said many times on this thread that Mehrunes Dagon was in another realm and thus was weakened because he was away from his homeland, and as Lorkhan probably wasn't used to walking to Nirn just yet, as he was soon killed after it was created, soon by god terms anyways, therefore he could have been weak enough for Trinimac to kill him and rip him asunder, throwing the heart down the crapper, theoretically speaking. So bringing up my Home Theory, the argument that can and will be made by me is this, and thus ed this debate over who is strongest.

Neither is stronger than the other. Without the creation of Nirn, a divine would still be invincible unless deceived by another Divine, thus any Daedric Prince foolish enough to challenge an Aedra at full strength would be obliterated, but the Aedra were weakened by Mundus's creation, and theoretically places them at equal power with the Daedra, kind of like how a speach option with Clavicus Vile in Skyrim reveals that since he is at half power, him and the dragonborn are equals. Now, Clavicus Vile is the Daedric Prince of power correct? So you would expect him to have some right? Even if your dragonborn is really freaking powerful, he can still be killed pretty easily if fought by a higher foe, and if you double that strength, you are at a daedric princes level. So equationally speaking here:

2= Dragonborn

2+2= Daedric Prince. 4-2= Incapacitated Aedra.

So by the evidence of the Home theory, one cannot assume one is more powerful than the other. They are teo sides of the same coin, but one must flip the coin in a way to make sure the other does not come out on top, whatever your desire for who wins mayy be, and a good general knows when to pick his battles, and the battle between an Aedra and a Daedra, an epic battle I would say, will be decided on who can outsmart the other and pick a battlefield away from the opponents home. So, the argument will boil down to, "Who is the most clever?"
