Nobody really knows your god or there would not be so many Christian
sects, 
your god belief is dying worldwide from lack of evidence and the answer to

life the universe and everything will eventually turn out far more 
interesting than anything our primitive yet wonderful ancestors could ever

come up with.

A child will ask "were do we come from daddy" and the overwhelming urge is

to find some answer, any answer. No doubt ancient tribal leaders
experienced 
similar feelings with their charges but the honest thing to do is not to 
make stuff up and admit that you are unable to answer the question, at
least 
until credible evidence is available.
