Why Did God create other Gods in Psalm 82?

I'm a Christian but lately an atheist debates they quoted Psalm 82 as evidence that there are other gods. I have asked Rabbis about this, they don't know what to do about it. The only conclusion is that The Almighty created other gods (yes I know idols are rebuked and not called gods for long, God will never say an idol is a "god", just called idols and abominations). God hasn't created those new gods, as in Isaiah 44: Isaiah 44:8 >Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. I have been told that only Jahve is God, as in Isaiah 44, however, that was past, now why does it mean in Psalm 82 that God created gods? Psalms 82:1-8 >(A Psalm of Asaph.) >**1** God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. **2** How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. **3** Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. **4** Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. **5** They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. **6** I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. **7** But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. **8** Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. My question is different because God appears to go against the laws of logic and create other Gods. Thank you. English is not my first language so please be slow with me.
