And, hopefully it does not sound foolish: why should there be only one creator?
Interesting question. Deists all believe their god is the true god. Do they believe in other, inferior, gods? If so, was creation done by a committee?
I've already addressed this OP in two other threads so I'll let some other Deist have a go at this.
I will say this though: It's reasonable to assume that the majority of revealed religions in the world consider their god to be the "true god", so I'm not real sure what point you're trying to make with that. Also, the handful of deists I know (including myself) don't care whatsoever about providing evidence for a God we know we cannot possibly prove exists.
Again, I will say I've already covered this in two other threads and I'm just not willing to go over it again. Perhaps Paladin might be interested in enlightening you, but if he's not, visit this website. http://www.deism.com/
I was trying a bit of humour but obviously failed miserably! The point I was making was that if many gods exist then presumably they all were in on creation? Or did some just abstain and let the god(s) interested in creating things just get on with it?
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
