    if there is only one god, which I am convinced of

    Why?

    if you accept god as the creator of everything

    Which one? And why would I believe some random thing about that god

      Which one?

      If there is only one God, the question of “which one” is obsolete. The question becomes, what your understanding of God is.

      Why?

      For an overview of arguments see: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/monotheism
      Monotheism is the most consistent with the attributes of the divine.

      And why would I believe some random thing about that god

      Do you believe in Atoms and the latest theory of how they are composed? Unless you have conducted all the experiments leading to that theory yourself, which i doubt, because you don’t have particle accelerators readily available, you will have a basis of “scriptures” and “scholars” whose judgement you trust and follow.

        Circular logic. That requires that you believe in some specific definition of “the divine”. And of course that divinity exists in the first place.

        Discoveries in physics have directly led to applications that you can see with your own eyes. Hiroshima didn’t happen because someone just happened to enrich enough uranium to create supercriticality.
