You have no choice to back peddle because you know your real belief that he did create everything is scientifically absurd and morally repugnant.
It is called cherry picking. God only does pleasant things, well, thats what you want to believe despite all the gory nasty shit in the bible he watches over and or even condones or does himself.
So lets here the other cop out excuses.
Metaphor
Misinterpretation
You just don't understand
God can do what he wants
You hate God
God works in mysterious ways
Any excuse is a good one for the gullible.
Maybe you should try on a little reality for size. You merely like the idea of having a super hero. You should not feel alone, our species has constantly concocted deities/super natural/ super heros. It is an anthropomorphic reflection of human narcissism and a refusal to face our finite existence. Sugar pills feel good, but they are still nothing more than sugar pills.
Hey, prove to me I'm wrong, you're so sure of yourself let's see how good you really are or aren't. Because we are discussing creation with the assumption that God is real I'll give you a hint the answer can only be found through scripture, see what a nice guy I am giving you a head start.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
