You don't have to say who if a what would satisfy and could accurately describe a god.
If a toaster could have made everything, is it a god? The answer would seem to be no - and from this I conclude that it isn't the creative act which confers godhood, nor are we actually talking about whatever created everything -because a toaster that created everything would not be a god.
We're discussing something more specific, something with different and additional criteria. Your whos and hims. Consider this - we may discover tomorrow that there is some what that created the universe, and we may discover that this what accounts for all of the things a god believer believes about the universe...in short, that their beliefs about the universe were true...but by this criteria and as a consequence of the same discovery, they would discover that their beliefs about god are not.
All but one item in the contents of their beliefs were factual - and still..... sadly, there is no god.
