The creator I believe exists outside of time, space, and matter,which is our universe and all that is in it.
The charlatans at the Institute of Creation Research abandoned their credibility because the argument of an uncreated creator puts you firmly into the realm of the supernatural. And speaking of realms and the supernatural, You do not need to create them, because that had been done a long time before you. The assertion of the gods supernatural realm to explain a natural realm simply begs the question that if you need realms to explain realms, then why do you not postulate a super-supernatural realm to explain the supernatural one? Why only a hierarchy of 2, when one suffices and two leads to infinity?
Its probably for the best that supernatural realms remain in the domain of philosophy as science cannot explain the supernatural. Since the need for omni everything gods has never been established (it is merely assumed, and only by some) the discussion is rendered useless in its first inception. The motivation for humans creating gods has come from many directions, but not because we actually need such gods. We have a quite workable mechanism or set of tools (i.e. evidence and reason) for testing claims and separating error from truth. Are they fallible? They certainly can be but of course, none of those tools has ever lead us to any firm conclusions of the supernatural.
