I would like to give a literal translation of the Greek in verse 3.
Notice the "Word', the Word was with God and WAS God. And in verse 3, it states all things were made by him.

All verses are referenced with the KJV.
I ask that you read your Bible along with this, so you can see for yourselves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Joh 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(Joh 1:2) The same was in the beginning with God.
(Joh 1:3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Notice the "Word', the Word was with God and WAS God. And in verse 3, it states all things were made by him.
And who are we talking about? We are talking about the Word. Nothing was not made without him.
Skip on down to verse 10:
(Joh 1:10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Keep reading:
(Joh 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Keep reading and stop here:
(Joh 1:34) And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Who is this Word? It states plainly and simply that this is the Son of God.
And who is the Son of God? None other the the Lord Jesus Christ himself!
(Joh 1:36) And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
(that taketh away the sin of the world..)
OK, so now, you see that - Jesus created it all

Scripture interprets scripture...
This is my belief. And I believe the Bible. I hope you take Him at His Word, and Take HIS WORD for yourselves....
My prayer for you is to receive the free gift of life.....
Love and peace , and life eternal.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
And you do not find that significant?
never once did he claim to be God. Others did, but he did not.
Skip, being the operative word here, as in skipping several transitions from word to light to life and back.
Skip on down to verse 10:
(Joh 1:10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
