Is the creator alive? Do we assume the creator came into existence spontaneously or is the creator an exception to this line of logic?
I'm not saying I agree with rjh4 (I don't know what i believe about this area) but I would like to just answer this.
The creator is alive but not in the same way as us. He is a simple being (by this I mean not made up of parts) and also we don't believe the creator had a beginning (being outside time) and so it is not the same as the creation of life.
