No, it isn't in any case. If it's the same god, it is as you say. If it isn't the same god, he does a good job in taking all the essential personalities from the other religion. From Gabriel to Jesus, down to Mary. It also begs the question of more than one god existing, if it isn't the same god, yet a god.

There are also multiple Hindu creation accounts, which one specifically are you using [although each of those are equally true]?You are wrong. There are multiple Hindu creation accounts, because Hindus believe there are multiple universes. There is only one creation account for our universe. Do some research.
The Islamic god claims to be the final [and corrected] revelation of Yaweh. Are you claiming them to be the same, or are you differentiating them as different gods, and if so why?
With respect to Yaweh are you claiming creatio ex nihilo or theistic evolution as the creation account?
I realize this may seem a bit tedious, but without defining our terms we can't communicate properly.

"In the creation story of the ancient Greeks, Chaos came before everything else. Chaos was made of Void, Mass, and Darkness in confusion. Then Earth, in the form of Gaea, came into existence. From Mother Earth sprang the starry heavens, in the form of the sky god Uranus. From Gaea also came the mountains, plains, seas and rivers that make up the Earth as we know it today."

The Greek's believed in eternal matter.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
