If we define "God" as "the creator of all things," then it is a fact that God is the creator of all things, it's a tautology.

I've never had a problem with that concept, I'll readily concede that God exists and is the creator of all things.

The problem arises when you try to get a little more specific than the "creator of all things" definition, because there have been literally billions of versions of God created by humanity, with billions more to come. Even if you narrow it down to a particular flavor of God, such as the Christian God, there is a neverending variety of versions.

I don't mind if the schools pitch the "God is the creator of all things" angle so long as they leave it at that and do an adequate job of teaching science. It's a meaningless exercise, like reciting the pledge of allegiance, but it does little harm.
