Calvinists often seem to enjoy emphasizing the sovereign power of God but then feign ignorance when it comes to Creation.
I'd like to see documentation of the last claim. As an unashamed monergist, I have not seen any of the authors supporting this position "feign ignorance" on creation. Can you provide citations?

If one pretends that God is not responsible for causing someone to reject Him but simultaneously espouses God's sovereignty, they seem to be missing the key link of Creation. Whether it's feigned or just a piece of cognitive dissonance is a fair enough question to ask, but it ends up with the same result. You cannot say that the Sovereign God created everything, chooses who will serve Him and then simultaneously pretend He does not cause those who do not worship Him to choose their course of faith and action.
