Even if the first premise wasn't an irrational mess of nothing, these last two are pretty bad. The "principle of modesty" whatever that is, would be for controlling our expectations, it would have nothing to do with what is actual.
And it still doesn't lead from "maybe some things are better than us" to "there definitely are some supreme beings."
Fix up your first premise so that it makes sense, then try to bridge the huge gap created by your 3rd and 4th premises here.
