Well, that depends. In the context of "everything" a creator makes no sense regardless, because any creator would have to be a part of "everything", and so must either be eternal, or have sprung into existence spontaneously.So you are using the word "creator" instead of "god". That does make more sense.Firstly, who said it is a "god". A creator would be a creator. Computer, upper level existence, some blind set of circumstances.
You can use whatever placeholder word for Creator you like.
If things can spring into existence spontaneously, we need not bother to posit a creator; We can simplify by positing the spontaneous existence of matter/energy.
And if things that are eternal are real, we need not bother to posit a creator; We can simplify by positing an eternal existence of matter/energy.
If it is impossible for things to be eternal, AND it is impossible for things to spontaneously begin from nothing, then it is impossible for anything to exist - including any "creator(s)".
