There are different views in Hinduisam regarding the evoluation of gods. One such theory would say that without energy no creation is possible. So, Adisakthi (primal energy) created three major gods of Hinduism. Then a question will arise how Adisakthi have born? It replies that from the cosmic illusion first the sound OM was born and then light. From the light was born the Goddess Adishakti. From her the gods were born who then created the universe.
There is another view that cosmic illusion gave birth to Lord Vishnu, Who created Lord Brahma in the lotus flower which grows from the navel of Vishnu at the beginning of the universe. Later Brahma created ten Prajapatis and seven rishis (Saptharishi). Various texts give different versions of Lord Shiva's creation.
As Vedas are not man made and the root cause of all important gods must be from vedas (not so directly, like Shiva is identified with Rudra in the Rig Veda), The attributes of gods must have been taken from Vedas and appropriate shape given by risihis who were created by Brahma out of his thoughts.
So, on the bottom line the gods of Hinduism are not man made.
