GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Create, Creation
See also Beginning; Earth; Jesus Christ; Sabbath Day; Spirit Creation
To organize. God, working through his Son, Jesus Christ, organized the elements in nature to form the earth. Heavenly Father and Jesus created man in their image (Moses 2: 26-27).
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, Gen. 1: 1. Let us make man in our image, Gen. 1: 26 (Moses 2: 26-27; Abr. 4: 26). All things were made by him, John 1: 3, 10. By him were all things created that are in heaven, Col. 1: 16 (Mosiah 3: 8; Hel. 14: 12). God made the worlds by his Son, Heb. 1: 2. Man was created in the beginning, Mosiah 7: 27. I created the heavens and the earth and all things, 3 Ne. 9: 15 (Morm. 9: 11, 17). All men were created in the beginning after mine own image, Ether 3: 15. Jesus Christ created the heavens and the earth, D&C 14: 9. He created man, male and female, after his own image, D&C 20: 18. Worlds without number have I created, Moses 1: 33. By mine Only Begotten I created heaven, Moses 2: 1. I, the Lord God, created all things spiritually before they were naturally upon the face of the earth, Moses 3: 5. Millions of earths like this would not be a beginning to the number of thy creations, Moses 7: 30. The Gods organized and formed the heavens, Abr. 4: 1.

It appears the “gods” organized the elements of the earth.
Notice that this is from the “official” LDS.org site? If you are as educated as you say, then you’re flat out lying.

1. Like I said, find out why Eloheim is PLURAL (i.e., “Gods” not “God”) and find out the role of the “bene ha eloheim” (”sons of God”) during the creation. Hint: this henotheistic cosmology is found in the EARLIEST portions of the Bible before the Captivity - it’ll be wise to actually study up first.

2. Furthermore, you shouldn’t confuse the creation of the universe 15 or so billion of years ago with the creation of the earth 5 or so billion of years ago. They are two separate creations.

3. Also, try to find out who has the right to say they are the creator of something, say, a building. Is the architect the creator? What about the project manager? Is the project manager still the creator if he has staff that he directs in the construction?

Boy, you really seem to have a very shallow and poorly thought out view of reality.
