OK. Thanks. I didn't realize God was male. So my next question is:

How do you know God is male and not female?

OK. So why did you imply God was male then?

OK. I'll give you a "mulligan".

You know nothing about God other than God created the universe but you will answer any questions.

What is your favorite color?

Question: Who created the universe?
What makes you think that is a valid question?

Have you heard of "question begging"?

Obviously "Who" implies god or gods. And created implies creator/s.
Sorry, I'm only allowed to ask one question at a time and I couldn't think of anything else to ask "on the fly".
How about; "What makes you think the universe was created.?"

Though I doubt you are going to get much sense out of a person who thinks "millions" is spelled "miliards"

It didn't come to mind when I asked the question. Sorry.

To be fair I Googled milliards and it said it was an 18th century term for billions. Anyway, the OP seems to need to feel like s/he knows more about what is unknown than anyone else so, as you point out, I figured it didn't make much difference what questions I asked.

Because you did what you could at the time for the reasons you were willing to consider at the time. Its who you are. Why apologise for who you are?
Maybe you could consider the question to ask at another time?

Really??? "Milliards". I've have to look into it. I thought is was a joke word for millions.

Yes, the OP seems to hold two mutually inconsistent positions. Whilst pretending to know nothing s/he claims to know the mind of god in other instances.

PS.
Correction "milliard" is an archaic word for one thousands million. Originally one billion was a million million and that was the case until very recently in the UK. It is only in financial markets first and then in science that the Americanism billion= 1 thousand million has been introduced.

But you do have me curious now what his/her answer would have been to the question: "What makes you think the universe was created?"

So now you are pretending to be something less than human?
