However, I could never believe that the Norse gods really exist, which means i can never really follow Ásatrú.

I'm starting to think that the point of religion isn't to provide answers, it's to give you something to aim at. It's there to give you stories to live by, gods to admire and give you a sense of empowerment. And the best bit, as you're pagan, is you get to make your own stories. Can I ask what you find difficult to believe about the Asatru pantheon? I can understand the notion of occasionally psychotic, giant killing alchoholics in charge of the universe can be a little hard to swallow, but who said religion had to make sense?
Personally, I only follow a select few gods from different pantheons, and the odd one or two godforms I invented. If the notion of a blind moon god makes sense to you, but the thunder god doesn't appeal, as with many things, go with what feels right.

However, after a few years, I've realised that even Wicca is not for me because I can not really believe in such higher powers that just created us in a blink.

Sorry but AFAIK, there is no canon Wiccan creation myth. You believe what you want. So I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. I've never met a Wiccan who was anti-evolution. IMO, Wicca is more of a magical* tradition than a complete religion. Much of my experiences dealt with the application of rituals opposed to becoming closer to my gods or my ideals. The point I was obliquely trying to make is that Wicca is mainly a tool for doing magic as opposed to a long doctrine of belief**.
* can we all avoid the twattish additional k's? Pleeeease.
** As said above, I've never been in a coven. It's all a little cultish for me. So if this Wiccan creationism came from in one, I stand corrected.
