Pretty much everything requires multiple creators. One person might have made a painting, but someone else made the paint and another the paintbrush. This argument seems more one for polytheism to me.
I can already see the argument against that brewing now. It would go something like this:
But the paint and the paintbrush were made by people who were made by the creator. And if machines made the paint and the paintbrush, then it was people who made the machines that made those things. So ultimately it comes back to being made by people, who were made by the creator.
All in all, the usual circular word-salad bs.
