It's just one item in an extremely long list of magical things I don't believe in, because they have no basis in observable reality.
We just don't bother having words for not believing in the other things. It's amazing to me we need a word for this.
It's actually a more far fetched idea than most of the other things on the list, regarding the story book gods. Dragons, ghosts and magic crystals require less assumptions.
A generic creator however is a legitimate possibility to me, but very few theists are prepared to stop at that point; hence no answers on my "can a slug be god" thread. We wouldn't want to actually define what a god is, now would we?
