the Power of Creation

And I have heard...that there are many creators...and many different versions of one creator...is it possible that they're all true?....Or none?

That would depend upon your religion, I suppose, but in the Bible it says Let us make man in our image. Genesis 1:26
I have heard many things. I learned that I can draw inspiration from any and all tales, and that I can take responsibility for how I incorporate those tales into my way of life.
For the most part, I'm not a fan of "creator" gods because I heard stories that do not draw some stark line between "creator" and "creation." Instead they tell a story of how everything is interconnected and everything co-creates. I like those stories best because they reflect things I learned studying the sciences.

Well, definitely. At least one angel did. Michael. If you are familiar with the Bible you know that Jesus existed in heaven in spirit form before he came to earth as the man Jesus. It says that Michael, that is the pre-human form of Jesus, was created first, before anything else, and he then became Jehovah's master worker, creating, in order, heaven, the angels, the earth and everything in it.
All things were created through, by, for Jesus AKA Michael. And his favorite part of creation was Earthling man.

In Orthodox Christianity the One creator is a Trinity. It is a sufficient number.

The Holy Trinity isn't said exactly in the Bible. It is an understanding than a statement.

Not sure where you are going with this. You are being somewhat cryptic.
Michael (Jesus) was Jehovah's master worker in creation, but he couldn't of done it without Jehovah.
However, being creative is a part of mankind's being created in Jehovah's image or likeness.
So that sort of applies to us as well as Jesus, in that we can't create to the extent that our creator creates, but we have that creative need or ability as part of us.

OK, from we like the power to we lack the power.
I think both are true, though, to a certain extent. We don't completely lack the power, we are just limited compared to our creator. We can't create universes. At least not at this point.
