The first two questions are somewhat pointless to ask me, since I believe in the Bible.
As for knowing my God created everything for sure, it is impossible to know, that is why it takes an amount of faith to believe. It doesn't take blind faith as some would tell you - for there is plenty of evidence - but it takes faith to believe in what Jesus says and faith to believe there is a God, b/c I can't physiically see them walking and talking everyday.
Some simple evidence (remember this doesn't 100% PROVE my view) 1. The universe is finite, therefore it was created at some point by something 2. Jesus was really here - plenty of writings on Jesus b/c of his miracles way back when (not just the gospels) 3. The generation of living matter from non-living matter would take over 15 billion years (the estimated age of the universe). But for our estimated earthly timeline to work correctly, this would have had to happen in 500 million years... roughly. 4. Historically correct things in the bible. (Old and New Testament) This includes the first bronze workings, cities built by Solomon, tribes, Sumerian Kings, etc.
I'm guessing your questions were mainly rhetorical though. It isn't possible to completely prove God, but the Bible is the most historically correct writing.
