At the very least, "God" is no god, but just a being that is somewhat higher
developed than an earth human, and out of low self-esteem or something he
felt the need to show off and pretend he's a god to the stupid humans, who
fell for it.
Likewise, if someone from today would go back in time to the time of Jesus
and show off some technical innovations which are very commonplace today and
pretend he's a god because of that, they would believe him as well.

There are several parts in the Old Testament which underline this.

Many parts of the Old Testament existed already way before the advent of
Jesus and stuff, and were only slightly modified for inclusion.

Possibly just done to have some fun with the stupid humans.

The original bible texts were changed uncounted times by whoever was
currently in power at the church to express just what what they wanted it to
express, going along with intentional misinterpretation.
