Evidence for a Creator God Who Likes Creating Things

Write it up, publish it.
A Nobel Prize awaits you.
But I'm not holding my breath as geology explains the landscape
The mere appearance of something isn't evidence of its origin. Please provide evidence for GodDidIt.

Looks like question begging to me. What is the evidence that any of this was due to a creator?
a musician who really likes to create different pieces of music... creates much.
What he creates is a reflection of how he is as a person...
The music counts as evidence for a musician who likes his art.
I see an analogy to God here.
Now all you need to do is provide evidence of god did it as opposed to natural processes did it.

Yes, many people, including many scientists, have felt the wonder of the variety - and yet order - of the universe suggests a creator. But that's a feeling, not evidence in any objective sense.
the variety of landscapes is the evidence, as I see it. There is no necessity for landscapes in itself to have a great abundance of different forms.
a variety of things is not a feeling, Exchemist.
It's an objective phenomenon that exists.
Entropy is the necessity. And it's only humanity who consider beauty in landscapes. They grow, nothing more. I see this as a natural process in the overall decay of the universe .
So earthquakes, mudslides, tidal waves, ice ages, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other landscaping tools that cause death are evidence of a creator being that likes his art?

Really? The "look at the trees" argument (Argument from Design) again?
We need that Cemetery of failed arguments to just point there.

But you haven't provided even the first hint of an argument that there is a god.
had to look that up.
I don't think that entropy can explain the variety of landscapes.

But there is nothing mysterious about it, given the laws of nature.
the variety in itself is evidence for a God who loves variety, as I see it.
But a being who's existence has no objective evidence can...
At least we have objective evidence for the existence of entropy.

That's still question begging (a circular argument). Even if the variety was a total mystery (which it isn't), you're just assuming your conclusion that it was deliberately created.
no, I depart from a situation that leaves it open if the world was created or not.
So there is nothing circular here, as I see it.
Variety is partially explainable already, I'm focussed on the unexplained part, here.

Your opinion is not evidence.
In my opinion you don't exist, so that is evidence for the fact that you don't exist.
That is an example of reductio ad absurdum. If opinions worked as evidence, then you don't exist in my opinion, right? Well, no.
