Different abstracts have been created and held high by different writers and shakily held together. Definitely, like you say, these things have hardily been standardized throughout the ages. But now we know they are by feats, below Galactus. And the showing of them stomping Thor remains valid, and has been mentioned many times.
If you want to take Odin's word that the World Seed begat Galactus, fine. There's nothing that shows that when Bor planted it and grew the World Tree, the World Tree begat Galactus. They're not the same.
I'm reading it right now. I can repost the scans too. The World Seed endures beyond all times. But Bor didn't make it. He simply found it and he grew the World Tree from it. The World Tree itself did not begat the universe or Galactus.
The World Seed did, if you take Odin's word for granted, and it will do so again in the next cycle. Neither Bor, nor his sons precede (or operate beyond) the existence of the World Seed.

which makes no sense, since they are only a planetary pantheon....their are shite loads of skyfathers thru-out marvel that dont get the same level of respect especially since the greeks are arguably stronger
The World Tree is the Cosmic Axis no? Bor was around and used the World Seed to create the World Tree. He's the creator God. Since he planted the Seed that gave birth to the Cosmic Axis.

This was exactly my argument back when I hadn't seen the scans. But it's all right there on panel. I have NO idea why Marvel is doing this. In fact the stories made MORE sense back in the silver age when Odin explained the existence of other Gods and Pantheons to Thor. I even have the scan. But it seems that's been retconned.

He turned the Nine Realms into entire Universes, that are the tip of an Infinite Number of Universes which is where the lost 10th World came into the fold. I'm guessing the World Tree it's the center of the Multiverse or something along those lines.
It's pretty straightforward. When the Universe was dying, Bor found the World Seed, planted it on his planet, and from there sprang up the World Tree, which began creation. That's the moment Galactus was born I'd guess but whatever, we'll wait until the arc finishes.
