Is "being the creator of everything" an essential characteristic of the xtian god?

What if the xtian god thing was only responsible for creating people? Suppose cosmology wasn't his job. Aside from the bible, is there any other reason to assume god's creative function applies to absolutely everything?
Couldn't god still be pretty great even if we were his only product? If this god thing is beyond us, how can we know its limits?
If the xtian god-thing were seen as existing within a cosmology not of his own making, then suddenly his craftsmanship really amounts to something. Just pulling things fully formed from one's divinely fecund fundament by magic is so much less impressive.
If any xtians would like to weigh in I would really like for you to explain to me why it matters and just how you can be so certain.
