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?

Here is an exercise in using our reason and intelligence:

There is the reality of existence of all kinds of beings in existence, can it occur that all kinds of existence go into extinction i.e. nothingness?

My answer is "No, not all kinds of beings can go into extinction i.e. into nothingness.

What about you all guys who have reason and intelligence, what is your answer?[/quote]

All theories about the beginning seem absurd including that of a God—who somehow always existed? Hmmmm.

I don’t know if there is or is not a god or multiple gods. I don’t see evidence. And I think it odd that God wants everyone to have faith instead of the alternative-/making his or her or their presence obvious.
@yrger The only thing preventing your God from going into nothingness is your claim that he can't. But that raises an interesting question - is your God omnipotent if he can't annihilate himself?

A lot of things go into extinction, replaced by the following generations
That’s evolution. Nothing needs to be permanent.
