The inspired Scriptures proclaim that the Father employed the Son to create and preserve the whole entire creation:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the very beginning. Through him all things (panta di’ autou egeneto) came into existence, and without him there was nothing. That which came to be found life in him, and the life was the light of the human race… The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, the world had come into existence through him (di’ autou egeneto), yet the world did not recognize him… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-4, 9-10, 14 New Catholic Bible (NCB)
“yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things (ta panta) and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things (di’ hou ta panta) and through whom (di’ autou) we exist.” 1 Corinthians 8:6
“giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For BY HIM all things were created (en auto ektisthe ta panta) that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things (ta panta) were created THROUGH HIM (di’ houtou) and FOR HIM (eis autou). And He IS BEFORE all things (autos estin pro panton), and IN HIM all things (en auto ta panta) consist.” Colossians 1:12-17 New King James Version (NKJV)
“On many occasions and in many ways in the olden time, God having spoken to the fathers through the prophets, at the last of these days has spoken to us through his Son, whom he put forth the heir of all things (panton), and through whom (di’ hou) he created the ages (tous aionas); who being the brightness of his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power (ta panta to rhemati dynameos), having made purgation of the sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Hebrews 1:1-3 Godbey(i) New Testament
The foregoing passages conclusively prove that the Son is not a part of creation but, like the Father, he is separate and distinct from every created thing since he is the One who brought the whole created realm into being.
This can be further proven from the fact that the exact same prepositions which the NT writers employ to describe the Son’s role in creation are attributed to God, specifically the Father. Moreover, the expression “all things” was the standard Jewish and Biblical way of referring to the entire creation that God brought into existence.
Noted Trinitarian scholar and biblical exegete Robert Bowman Jr. explains it best:
“In Colossians 1:16-17, Paul uses the specific expression ta panta, the neuter plural form with the definite article (‘the all [things])’. Although this expression can be used in other contexts, when it is used in the context of creation (as is explicitly the case here), it is a standard Jewish expression referring to the totality of God’s creation (Gen. 1:31; Neh. 9:6; Jer. 10:16; Wisdom 1:7, 14; 9:1; Sirach 18:1; 23:20; 43:26; Acts 17:25; Rom. 11:36; 1 Cor. 8:6; Eph. 3:9; Heb. 1:3; Rev. 4:11).12 By placing the Son outside the category of ‘the all’ that was created, Paul excludes the notion that Christ was the chronologically first of all creatures.”

I now present the list of citations where all things are said to have been created and are preserved by, through and for God:
“For it was fitting that he, for whom (di’ hou ta panta) and by whom all things exist (di’ autou ta panta), in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.” Hebrews 2:10
“By faith we understand that the ages were framed by a word of God (katertisthai tous aionas rhemati Theou), so that the things being seen not to have come into being out of the things that appear.” Hebrews 11:3 Modern King James Version (MKJV(i))
“Because of him his messenger finds the way, and by his word all things (panta) hold together.” Sirach 43:26
“Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all (panta ta) that is in them.” Acts 14:15
“The God who made the world and all things (panta ta) in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things (ta panta); and He made from one man every nation of mankind to inhabit all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him (en auto) we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His offspring.’’” Acts 17:24-28 LSB
“For from him and through him (di’ autou) and to him (eis auton) are all things (ta panta). To him be glory for ever. Amen.” Romans 11:36
“In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth… And God saw all the things (ta panta) that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.” Genesis 1:1, 31 LXX (Lancelot C. L. Brenton’s Septuagint [LXX])
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.” Genesis 2:1
“And Esdras said, Thou art the only true Lord; thou madest the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things (panta) that are in it, the seas, and all things (panta) in them; and thou quickenest all things (ta panta), and the hosts of heaven worship thee.” Nehemiah 9:6 Brenton LXX
“Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things (ta panta), and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the Lord of hosts is his name.” Jeremiah 10:16
“Because the Spirit of the Lord has filled the world, and that which holds all things (ta panta) together knows what is said… For he created all things (ta panta) that they might exist, and the generative forces of the world are wholesome, and there is no destructive poison in them; and the dominion of Hades is not on earth.” Wisdom 1:7, 14
“God of my ancestors and Lord of mercy, by your word[a] you have created all things (ta panta), and in your wisdom you have fashioned man to have power over all the creatures you have made,” Wisdom 9:1-2
a. Wisdom 9:1 Your word: i.e., God’s creative Word (see Gen 1), a concept that is like a prelude for the revelation of the Word of God, Jesus Christ (Jn 1:1-14). NCB
“All things (ta panta) were known to him before they were created,[h] and they still are, now that they are finished.” Sirach 23:20
h. Wisdom of Ben Sira 23:20 Known to him before they were created: God’s antecedent knowledge of creation is divine wisdom itself (Prov 8:22f). And they still are, now: after creating the world, God continues to watch over it. Indeed, the Lord knows all things, both past and future (see Sir 42:18; Ps 139:1-16). NCB
“He that liveth for ever Hath created all things (ta panta) in general.” Sirach 18:1 Brenton
Therefore, since God created all things by his Son this means that the Son, like God, is uncreated and eternal. And seeing that all creation came into existence by, through and for the Father and the Son, this also confirms their essential coequality. I.e., both God and his beloved Son (along with their eternal Holy Spirit [Cf. Heb. 9:14; Gen. 1:1-2; Job 33:4]) have eternally coexisted as the one true God.
There’s simply no way around this revealed fact.
