"I'm not very interested in Biblical or religious sources of support-"

Well, whether you are interested or not, the answer is in the Bible. The characteristics that you bring up matches the Bible's description of the Creator. If we are talking about people who just believe in "a god", but not in a specific religion then the answer is still the Bible - as long as the characteristics are the same.

So, to answer you final question: There is no reasoning. People just follow the old traditions.


I'm hoping to hear from Creationists who don't tend to use the Bible as their sole reasoning in debates. For example, many Creationists support their arguments using intelligent design or moral absolutism, which are based on some form of logic and not on religion. Many of these Creationists also believe in the characteristics I mentioned. So if they can argue for a Creator's existence without using the Bible, hopefully they can do the same for those characteristics.

If not, then hopefully they can at least acknowledge that their belief in those characteristics are less supported than their belief in a Creator (since the former is dependent completely on religion, while the latter is not). If they concede that their belief in those characteristics are unsupported, then they also concede that the existence of a Creator doesn't really matter.

But trust me, there will be a few people with arguments for at least some of them.
