do you believe that the universe was created by more than one Creator?

Was that Creator's name "YHWH or Jehovah" [the God of Israel] or "Allah" [the God of Mohammed]?

You realize most Christians who speak Arabic say Allah and not God right?

Ah I forgot they don't count as REAL Christians for you...

The Creator's name as revealed to Moses is usually transliterated these days as YHWH.

The name means "I am that am" or "I am who am."

"Jehovah" is an inaccurate transliteration.

The translation that is usually used in English to translate YHWH is "LORD" - which is not a literal translation at all.

Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians referred to YHWH as "Allah" for centuries before Mohammed robbed his first caravan.

"Allah" is the Arabic word for "the god" or "the deity" from the Arabic word "ilah" which is related to the Hebrew word "El" - which is used as a name for the God of Abraham in the Hebrew Scriptures along with YHWH and Elohim and Shaddai.

Mohammed did not invent the word "Allah" - he stole it from Arabic-speaking Jews and Arab Christians.
