Yes, Musket, all Bibles name God as creator.

Next question?

Almost all Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe in God as creator. How God created, is another question. Moderate to progressive religious people generally think that God created through the wonderful, natural, miraculous process we call evolution - that God was somehow part of that process. I believe that God is in the essence of everything I encounter, the unseen spiritual side of everything that is. And being a Christian, I believe that somehow, that unseen God is fully embodied in Jesus Christ - and partly embodied in all we encounter. Many Christians call that the mystery of the incarnation.

Progressive Christians won't fight about that, and generally won't proselytize - and they don't want this taught in tax-paid schools (I suppose that's different in the UK, since at least some religious schools are supported by taxes). Nonetheless, it is meaningful and sacred to them.

If you want to fight about it, then you'll have to go to the fundamentalists. They'll give you a run for your money.
