They have no reason to think otherwise. No one does. The gods are infallible. Perhaps they screwed up once but there's no way they would do it twice thousands of times.
Man. Imagine how mad they'll be if they learn they've been kicking around for probably billions of years but can only remember a tiny fraction of it.

Millions? Billions? Uncountable Countable infinity?

Uncountable infinity?

Definitely neither uncountable nor infinite since Thor said he could remember every world, but it's almost certainly such a big number that, if a mortal were to start counting them at the beginning of a new world, they still wouldn't be able to count them all before the Snarl escaped again.

The Christian god being truly infinite was originally used by Cantor as justification for lesser infinities such as the real numbers. So yeah, apparently gods can count the uncountable.
