The Buddha did not endorse a belief in any creator god and thought that any questions as to who caused creation or how it came to be as worthless. In general, Buddhists do not believe in any immortal, all powerful deities. We do believe that some people, upon their passing, can attain a finite existence in what is sometimes called a God Realm (Actually called a Deva Realm) as a Deva. Devas have abilities that far outreach the normal person (almost god-like) but these beings are not immortal, all-powerful or all-knowing.
Some Buddhists believe that enlighten persons, upon their passing, can become one with a cosmic consciousness.
