Exactly. Everyone has to come to their own conclusion.

I think the only possible 'God', is one that created the universe, and then peaced out.

No other claims about God really make any sense. We've already identified that all species alive today (whether today or in Biblical times) were not created, but evolved from earlier forms of life. The original life was probably just a self-replicating simple cell. Life probably existed even before DNA, which is actually pretty advanced and evolved.

The Bible says that God created Man, and therefore the Bible is factually wrong. People in the Iron Ages just didn't know what we were, and the stories and myths gave them comfort and social organization. Religion served a purpose at one point. That need has diminished as science as advanced.

Of course mass came from space, you can have space without mass yet you can't have mass without space.

So where do you think space came from? Or do you think it has always existed, and if so what is the reason upon which you base your expectation that it is true?

"Two organic compounds essential for living organisms have been found in samples retrieved from the asteroid Ryugu, buttressing the notion that some ingredients crucial for the advent of life arrived on Earth aboard rocks from space billions of years ago.
Scientists said on Tuesday they detected uracil and niacin in rocks obtained by the Japanese Space Agency's Hayabusa2 spacecraft from two sites on Ryugu in 2019. Uracil is one of the chemical building blocks for RNA, a molecule carrying directions for building and operating living organisms. Niacin, also called Vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, is vital for their metabolism."

God is non-existent. There's no evidence at all to suggest a god had anything to do with life on earth. It came from space. There's the evidence.
This is yet more evidence of a completely and organically natural explanation for how life came to be. Like everything else that has been sorted out over the past few hundred years, eventually gods and devils will not be required to fully explain it. But this won't stop some folks from insisting goddidit.

Uracil, that's a new one. Sounds like a medication one would take to pee less often ...

LOL... Or possibly the brand name for an acne cream...

Actually, elevated concentrations of uracil in urine is an important marker to diagnose certain genetic disorders involving neurology, metabolism, etc.

On another note, a theist may argue here that in all fairness to God, he had to get the building materials somewhere.
