Same question can be applied to people when it comes to "God's Commandments" or whatever the will of their own internal destiny plans out for them.

That being said, taking the quote from Star Trek, that any sufficiently advanced technology will appear to be magic to a lesser species... someone with a lot of power could be God-Like, much how folks in the Star Trek universe "pretend" that Q has special powers when he's really just got an open comm link to the continuum and they all operate like a well oiled NASCAR team when it comes to making things happen for the "man they love." It's just a Q-level Knight's Tale.
