Assuming creation is true, how do you, as a creationist, know that it was the work of your particular deity?
Many religions have creation myths associated with a creator deity or deities. Please explain why creation could only have been the work of your deity of choice.
We often see theists on here claiming that creation is "proof" of the existence of their deity. But isn't it just as equally "proof" of any creator deity?

It depends on the deity and I do not know all the creation myths of all the religions on the earth. As a general rule though, the deities of the creation myths tend to be themselves a part of the world which IS the creation. That doesn't work for obvious reasons. Only a deity (and there can be only one) who is OUTSIDE the world (or who creates the world within himself) is a candidate for a creator of the entire world.

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, THE OTHERS ARE MAN-MADE ~
The Untold Story of Creation
BILLIONS of people have read or heard what the Bible says about the beginning of the universe. The 3,500-year-old account starts with the well-known statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Many people, however, are unaware of the fact that Christendom’s leaders, including so-called creationists and fundamentalists, have spun the Bible account of creation into numerous tales that deviate from what the Bible really says. These interpretations fly in the face of scientific fact. Even though those tales are not found in the Bible, they have caused some people to dismiss the Bible account as mythical allegory.
The real Bible story of creation has gone largely unnoticed. This is a shame, for the Bible actually presents a very logical and credible explanation of the beginning of the universe. What is more, that explanation harmonizes with scientific discovery. Yes, you might be pleasantly surprised by the Bible’s untold story of creation!

I'd like to think that God created me, when I read the bible and book of mormon looking for an answer I usually feel like that's the answer and when I pray for that answer I usually feel good inside like it's right. Honestly it's you who has to decide, no one can make you believe. Just remember to look at all religions with an open mind and not assume that what you think is concrete.

First, get a kjversion Bible and believe. Jesus Christ is the truth. Now see, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaXAgJ3sOvw notice how they just tried to hide these discoveries? Then see here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqKqRHNVYb0 Everything is as written. Also, we know false religions speak with no authority or truth see, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvvClFSMIzA Do you think Atlas is holding up earth? You know there's only one truth!
Get a kjversion Bible and believe. Jesus Christ is the truth. "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."- The Word of God. They run around trying to find gravity string or pillars from sun to earth desperate to say it all made itself when they know it didn't.

Well, the bible talked about Noah's ark and they found it on a mountain in Turkey.
Plus it says that Jesus rose from the grave. Has anyone found Jesus body? I think no.
The bible says that God created everything male and female, and that was thousands of years before scientists discovered genes. Science proves the bible!
