can you prove he did? I didn't think so.

There is no logical way to disprove any generic god. I think most people who believe in god believe it transcends existence, or at least Christians do. It's not possible by any means we can even imagine to test whether something exists in an existence that is not our own. Because god is defined in the most ambiguous terms by all of the major religions, even if we could some how test for a god in some other plane of existence and discovered no god, god could simply be reinterpreted as existing beyond any plane of existence or some other way that exceeds our testing ability. However, we also have the same problem disproving the flying spaghetti monster or any other being or thing that we conjure up in our head and not bother to define.
If we examine religious texts from the sorted religions, we can certainly test statements in those texts. For example, literal creationists believe the Earth and heavens were created in 7 days some six thousand years ago. This timeframe is estimated by following the "begats." By every conceivable means of testing the age of the Earth and universe we find results far older then the claimed 6 thousand years. Still this is only a test on a text written about a god, not on god itself.
So, to answer your question, no, we can’t prove or disprove god.

um at the risk of sounding like an idiot, the absence of prrof of god is proof alone that he didn't create it. This is a very speculated question as almost 49% of americans believe that the world was created as the bible says. now that being said, according to the bible, and some religious folks, the world is only 6,000 years old give or take a few. however, substantial evidence proves that the planet is 4.6 billion yo and that the solar system is even older.
I'm a skeptic so this is just oneside of the answer, some all knowing being might be watching but i hardly think that they had a hand in creating the world (unless the are trans-dimensional beings that created earth to find the answer to life, the universe and everything else).
Short answer-if you remove the timelines, you can not disprove that god created everything.

Questions like this are somewhat pointless. Asking for proof of something which is a belief with no concrete evidence at all is ridiculous.
Science can prove a lot of things and even the Pope recently recognised evolution but pointed at that as it took place over millions of years that definitive proof would probably be impossible. That does not stop evolution being a tool of God though does it?
Many civilisations have had gods the Greeks and Romans had many - no doubt some of their citizens asked similar questions to yours.
Tha sad thing about this question is that it fails to recognise that Christianity and the other religions that believe in God are just that belief systems which require faith. True believers and good Christians do not require proofs.
Sounds like you need to reflect and strengthen your faith.

I think the major problem is the definition of "God". If you mean supernatural guy with a white beard and a robe sitting up in the sky somewhere, then no, he didn't create everything since he is metaphor used to explain things beyond human understanding at a particular point in time and by an isolated tribe of people. If you mean an inherent creative force within nature of reality, then by definition, yes. But as you mentioned, it is more a question of philosophy and theology.

It can nneither be proved or disproved. It's a matter of faith. Someone could proobably prove evolution but without time travel we couldn't really know whether or not the events happenned literally exactly as it says in Genesis.
But if we prove evolution I believe God was still involved in it. The real question is whether God exists and that's a matter of faith and not to be proved. It is better to not see and to believe or something like that.

It is a good question but one that I think cannot be answered by anyone. Can you prove he did? Can anyone?
You will get so many different opinions on this, you may just start a war---hey wait, hasn't that happened a few times before?
Later............
I have read all of the answers so far and I see I was right about the war thing. Anyway I gave you a star because you got people thinking and that's always a good thing.

You can not disprove something that has never been proven. The burden of proof lies with those who hold religion as fact, and they have failed to bring forth solid proof that lacks natural explanations. This is why religion is faith based: you believe in it based on feelings and hopes. I cannot disprove the existence of Zeus, Pegasus, or Poke'mon either. This doesn't mean they are real.

Nobody can disprove that God created everything. Come to think of this-Would you believe that everything just happened by chance or by accident of nature?

No one can prove or disprove the exsistance of a god. I think it's very arrogant of anyone so say that they know that god does or does not exsist. Think what you want but don't expect everyone to agree.

Can anyone disprove that the tooth fairy left me a quarter under my pillow last night?
This is exactly the type of question you are asking.
People aren't required to go around disproving things. Rather, it is one who proposes that something exists that must bear the burden of proof that it does. Otherwise we will be here forever disproving that this god or that god or this thing or that thing doesn't exist.
