Alpha and Omega--the beginning and the end. God never had a beginning and will never have an end. Yet, He came down to earth, like us, in the form of Jesus.

Well, not exactly. The force that exploded to form the universe is no longer around. Creator didn't make 'Adam and Eve" but became them instead, i.e, light and dark, which further developed into the genders as we know them today. We all have the memory of that entity inside us but it no longer exists.

No -- and this is one of the most dangerous heresies of the Mormon, or LDS, religion. Someone correct me if I don't get this right, but there is a Mormon precept:
As I am, God once was.
As God is, I can become.
Even though Mormons claim to be Christians, and even seem to have a testimony of good lives, their basic theology makes them closer to new age religions than to orthodox Christianity. I think they believe that we can all evolve to a higher plane (or something like that) and someday all be rulers of our own planets.
The monothiestic concept of God in orthodox Christianity is actually shared with Judaism and Islam. Of course the way we become right with God (through faith alone in the atoning sacrifice of Christ, not by works of righteousness) is unique to Christianity.
The Mormon theology is dangerous because it is the oldest lie of the devil.
He appealed to Eve's pride, and convinced her that if she ate the forbidden fruit that she would "be like God." (Genesis 3:5)
And he uses it with us today when we are tempted to go our own way and ignore God. In our pride, we act as gods over our own lives. And where has that gotten us?
I once heard of a very simple sermon, two sentences long, that answers this question:
"God is God. And I'm not."

I do.
The Bible teaches that Jesus is the Creator of the universe. He created them for himself and they exist because he is holding them together right now.
Col. 1:15-17 (NKJV)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. [16] For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. [17] And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

No doubt about it.
John 1:1-5;10
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

If "all things where made by Him", (Jesus) not the Father, but was with the Father, how could He be one of us? He was in existence long before us and the Earth was made. "All things were made by Him...."
He, Jesus, just took the "form" of man when he came to Earth.

Nope. Bible explains this... We are made in His image. His ways are above our ways...
