And he has some awesome T-shirts.

 Is your God different than my God?  Please elaborate.

Yes, it is much better. It has all the powers of yours, plus many more.

It has an infinite number of attributes, I can't list them all.

It's definitely the best at being humble, it doesn't feel the need to leave books lying around saying how great it is.

My god is above good and evil, they are matters for the primitive under gods.

Spontaneous creation and spontaneous generation are not the same thing.

Spontaneous generation is a thoroughly debunked biological model from a few hundred years ago, and it doesn't state that something comes from nothing. It states animals can come from random things like pools of water, rotting meat, etc.

Spontaneous creation, as I'm using the phrase, is the idea that the whole universe used to be made up mostly/entirely of nothing, but some spontaneous event somehow brought a bunch of matter and energy out of that nothing.

That idea isn't as sci-fi as you might think. Modern physicists have learned that mixing matter with antimatter essentially makes nothing. Theoretically the same is possible in reverse, making it possible to get a whole universe from nothing.
