The word father is translated from the Hebrew word 'av and Greek word pa-ter'. It is used in various senses: as begetter, or progenitor, of an individual, the head of the household or ancestor (Genesis 24:40), an ancestor (John 8:53), a founder of a nation (Matthew 3:8), a founder of a class or profession (Genesis 4:20-21), a protector (Job 29:16; Psalms 68:5), the source of something (Job 38:28), and a term of respect (2 Kings 5:13; Acts 7:2). So God as the creator is called Father.
If you want to you can look up all the scriptures for reference at www.jw.org. This site site can also help you to understand the bible better.
The Bible describes God as a spirit being. (2 Corinthians 3:17) As such, he is far superior to us and beyond our physical senses. He is “the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible,” says 1 Timothy 1:17. The Bible also states: “At no time has anyone beheld God.”—1 John 4:12.
Our Creator is so superior to us that we cannot even begin to imagine what he looks like. “To whom can you people liken God, and what likeness can you put alongside him?” says Isaiah 40:18. Even the awe-inspiring physical heavens pale in comparison with the Almighty.—Isaiah 40:22, 26. jw.org
