although I would suppose that the definition of omnipotence excludes the possibility that more than one God exists.
If each god is only omnipotent within their own realm, this would not be so.
Consider if you will Newtonian vs. Relativistic physics... each is inviolate in their respective realms (low v: newton; high v: relativity) but irrelevant in the other realm (newton doesn't apply at v~c and relativity doesn't apply at V<<c)

It's a very weak argument, but I think the inability to create with concensus on the design rules out multiple creators..and had the reached a concensus, it wouldve been redundant to use multiple Gods with the same level of power to make the agreed upon design.
Again, one could envision a "team" of gods, each responsible for their own realm and nothing more. Polytheistic religions do this all the time ascribing one god to one effect (lightning rain earth moon, etc)

It's entirely possible that there is only half a God
now that's just messed up!
