Yes; as The Word, He says the way it is going to be. However, by 
definition, all Christians affirm that the Father is the one who Makes 
when they say the Creed.

I suppose this could be a product of the ambiguity between "everything 
maker" and "all ruler". I would agree that the Logos rules all is the 
intent of the Scriptures; perhaps the Father and Son jointly inaugurate 
creation, with the Maker speaking the Logos. I can't locate my 
interlinear just now to verify, but it could explain the plural "elohim" 
in use.
