That takes a phenomenal amount of power to do, and I don't see ordinary humans, however advanced technologically doing this.

When I heard Richard killed off Starbuck and then stole his girl, I decided to give his books a pass.
Suffice it to say, I wouldn't consider them canon.
Yes, if the Lords of Kobol created a planet, it
would take either omnipotent power, or amazing technology the likes of which we never saw in BSG. However, never did I get the idea in TOS that the Lords were any kind of advanced being, rather that they were leaders of Kobol. Or that they created their planet.
Concordance defines "LORDS OF KOBOL-- Rulers of ancient Kobol, who have assumed the status of religious figures." Again, contradicting Hatch's storyline, in my opinion.
Guess it's one of those canon vs creativity topics. Lots of speculation, that's for certain.
