Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that Buddhism has no creator god and that Buddhists do not believe in one, with one noting Theravada specifically rejects an ontologically distinct creator.
