The "creator" is just a way to praise the amazing chance that there is anything. I mean if we weren't here to ask these questions, would the universe still exist? Theres no way to answer, we can't even prove that perception is not the only thing in the universe. Why do you assume that whats around you even exists beyond your mind? There is this self righteousness that people have when describing the universe, almost as if they have been blessed with some information that others haven't, if you think you know everything, be sure that you truly know nothing.
Just give it up already, theists and atheists alike, you aren't that great. To have such concrete views on reality is subtle naivety, I mean even if we can probe the structure of the universe, it doesn't mean we aren't creating universal schematics as we go, and I don't mean on paper, I mean reconstructing the fabric of the external environment as we revise and interpret new ideas.
Don't get me wrong, I do accept the possibility of having a fate doomed to this earth and of nothing more, but its just that, a possibility. I also accept that the more you research and begin to understand the workings of consciousness, things get very scary, interesting, and completely out of this world. Things almost stop making sense, you stop being able to look at the world in the same way. You have to drastically reconsider all of the things you hold as true, and keep changing your frame of mind.
Not many can accept that we are all just walking around blindly, not sure of whats to come or really of what was, and the ones that do accept it don't seem to want to talk about it.
Peace
