Let's first keep in mind that monotheism, and thus belief in specifically a creator, is a late arrival to human spirituality (which term I am using in the sense of 'religious feeling' ).
The first gods were probably 'small gods,' or animistic spirits, the 'god' of a specific river, or of a species of tree, for instance. Now, you'd like to claim, I suppose, that it was close examination of those various empirical phenomena that led our ancestors to attribute their vagaries to the action of supernatural forces?
