Have you considered that the creator might not be god? (he) could be many gods. Or he could be shiva or some other god you don't recognize. Or, maybe space aliens created our universe. Or allah did it. In short, even if there was a creator, it doesn't logically follow that it was the Christian creator. And even less that this creator impregnated a virgin on our particular planet etc etc. Always interests me when Christians think that proving there was a creator somehow validates their religion. There are many religions and they come and go. A thousand years from now probably christianity will be extinct and we'll all be scientologists or something, and people will argue there had to be a creator, and therefore Scientology must be true. All this god business is culturally conditioned. That problem aside, who created the creator? If you say he didn't need creation, then you just as easily apply that premise to the universe as well. Why the extra step? All these are old points going all the way back to the Greeks. Never been answered by theists - because they have no answer.
