Does mankind need a creator God to expain mankind's existence?

Where do we come from ultimately?

I mean by ultimately is that we come from our parents and our parents come from their parents and on and on and on.

But there was a time when there was no life in the world, so we have now one phase of the world where there was no life yet.

Still going farther into the past, there was a time when there were no material things.

So, we finally come to what I call the ultimate reality, which is God the creator and operator of all things that are not God Himself.

What do you everyone say, do you now know what is the meaning of the word, ultimately?

Or there be some of mankind who claim that ultimately there is no God, but everything came from nothingness.

That is just plain absurd, for there is no such being as nothingness, but there is only ultimately God, the creator and operator of everything that is not God Himself.

Are there members of mankind who claim that ultimately God is not needed at all, so I ask them, what then is the ultimately origin of mankind?

Evolution through natural selection, no god needed.

What is God’s origin?

@LeopoldBloom God is eternal, and even scientists who believe in evolution solely say that the odds against even the human eye evolving on its own simply through "natural selection" is basically impossible with the odds so stacked against such an occurrence
@Curiosity13 The only scientists who say that are theists like Hans Behe and fake scientists like Ken Hovind. The evolution of the eye happened over time, it's not like a fully formed eye suddenly appeared. Natural selection explains this very well.

The problem with saying "goddidit" is either the special pleading you're engaged in ("god is eternal, no proof required") or the fact that you can't explain the mechanism whereby a disembodied intelligence can affect material reality. Therefore, goddidit isn't a scientific explanation, but a mythological one.

Actually, scientists know from other animal, pretty much everything there is to know about the eye. Humans aren’t the only creatures that have them.
