I think this is what I'd call close but no cigar. My main difference is I want humanity to be the ancient machine mind makers, with said machine minds being in the image of man, but molded to our old beliefs regarding gods. We made many minds for the many gods, and they outlasted our species. Now it's just the gods maintaining what humanity left behind, maybe interacting with new sentient species that have found the remnants of humanity and are studying them. One of these days I think I'm just going to have to write this big messy bastard out myself
