There’s some intricacies I might be leaving out that make it interesting but here’s the gist.
This worlds creator is basically a being known as the Demiurge. The world is supposed to be filled the chaos and is a prison on purpose cuz it is his doing. He is however a false imperfect god and the real kind god exists beyond him. Basically finding knowledge to get to him becuz the Demiurge draws power from a material reality.
Someone might be able to explain it better. A lot of great fiction and some unique ways of thinking are influenced by Gnosticism. The Matrix being the most famous. These works happen to mirror real life and reality
Some even think Old Testament God is the Demiurge while NT is the Real Jehovah/God/Supreme Being
My view from reading the Bible and using my own imagination is that Moses grew up in Egypt where they praised different observed attributes or energies of the creative force and personified those forces in stories - observed over millennia in Africa. After being raised as Pharoah’ son for 40 years he left to create his own nation and based on his own meditation to the creator created rules for this new nation.
Later on Roman people when conquering and persecuting came across this particular nation (Roman’s mainly using a man by the name of Saul to murk them.) They realized the outstanding importance of faith as a political tool when seeing the nation’s intense resilience. Saul then changed his name to Paul and used the legend of ‘Jesus’, one of the nation’s recently slain freedom fighters to create a faith system called Christianity and consolidated it with some pagan beliefs that other people in the wider region had - to ultimately use the greatest story ever told to rule the wider land - fully utilising the power of belief as a political and control tool ... then now the power switch from yudah synagogue to Roman church
The Muslims did something similar politically but say they’re correcting the story.
But Creator real tho
