True Dan but, everything that superman does (as previously explained) is founded in nature.

Everything that God is purported to do is just the best of human endeavor writ large.

And let's not forget that originally God was just a superman, a human-like being, just bigger, faster, stronger than moral humans and with a few more magic tricks. The omnipotence, omniscience, and transcending all that exists were later accretions.
