Did the God of the Bible create everything there is, or is there some other creator out there somewhere? What difference does it make? First of all, the God of the Bible is the only One who can have such an all-encompassing effect on creation. The story of the God of the Bible is that He has always existed, is all knowing, and is all powerful. He is also an all-loving, all-caring Creator who is deeply involved in all aspects of His creation as the Bible tells us in Acts 17:28, “For in him we live, and move, and have our being…” With a world-view that has the God of the Bible as our Creator, and our Savior, Helper, Controller, etc. we know that we are a part of something much bigger. It does matter what He says and what He does. As one proponent of evolution related that he knew that the probability of the theory being correct was extremely low, but to believe in a Creator God means that he would have an obligation to that Creator God, which he did not want to do, so he chose to believe in evolution. Even this evolutionist realized that it did matter what God says.
I will somewhat dismiss the stories of every other “god” who is held out as the creator because that God is really either speaking of the God of the Bible in lesser terms, or is a lesser being that does not have the capabilities assigned to the God of the Bible.
Does a world-view that has the God of the Bible as the Creator matter? Yes. To realize that we have an obligation to our Creator, as well as to have rights assigned to us by that Creator is the basis upon which our nation was founded. Many want to rewrite history and even claim their version is true when it is they who revised it to meet their world view to exclude God. Notwithstanding, if we do accept God as our Creator, our success and happiness depends on our synchronization with Him. If we do not, then our state depends on something else, whatever that may be.

A proponent of evolution that says the probability of the theory being correct is low? I'll guess that he isn't really a proponent of evolution because the evidence for evolution is overwhelming and anyone who says they believe in evolution because they don't want to have an obligation to God is an idiot who doesn't know what they are talking about.
"Many want to rewrite history and even claim their version is true when it is they who revised it to meet their world view to exclude God." This is false. No one is trying to exclude God. Christians make up the majority in this country. You can't go more than a few blocks in this town without passing a church of some sort and not a protester in sight. The only time there is a problem is when fundamentalists try to force others to believe like they do. That's when non-believers push back.
I differ with you again. There is no evidence for evolution, only facts and observations distorted to fit the theory. The evidence when objectively evaluated will support God as the Creator every time.
Another difference is your statement that it is false that there are those who are trying to rewrite history and claim their version is true, when they revise history to exclude God. The founding fathers said that unless the government was supported by devout and religious people it would fail (which by the way is being proved at this very hour). The founding fathers set up this nation on Christian principles, but many today are saying they did not. They did not set up a secular society as the ACLU and even one writer recently said that it is Christians who are revising history to make the claim that this is a nation built on Christian principles, have said. They set up a nation supported by, but not controlled by, godly people. It has drifted far from their wisdom to become a secular society, which will eventually cause its demise.
