This is what I was wondering from the beginning. I asked the first question to make sure that most religions believe in a God that know everything since this seemed like the more debatable topic, however, I did not think too much about the whole creation idea. I guess I'll just put the question out then for those who know... do the major religions believe in a God who knows everything AND creates everything? It was always my understanding that people say life is a gift from God and God made me this way and what not so I always assumed, but verification would be good.
