“Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There is no better explanation anywhere, scientific, philosophical, religious, or otherwise for the the reason of the existence of earth and all else.”

The common argument is then who created god or did god always exist.

The Word says; He’s the Alpha & Omega. The Beginning and the End.
He always was, is and forever will be....hard for our human brains and our mere 5 physical senses to actually comprehend such an entity sometimes.

The Bible answers this with the phrase "I AM." This was anticipated as the passage shows. Exodus 3:13-14: Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

"I AM" means eternally present, transcending time and space. God does not respond with his name, which was already told to the people many times, but with the term "I AM." I AM, so deal with it Moses. This is not mythology with Zeus, Cronos, and on and on and on....

God, as Creator, exists outside space and time. Nothing can be said of His origins since nothing can be known about reality prior to existence. In the sense in which we talk about existence God can not be said to exist. His reality both supersedes and precedes existence. As an article of faith I know that God, creator, is also sustainer of the world. He is "in" the world but is not "of" the world. His presence is guaranteed by the presence of His Spirit and of His Son who comes to us that we may be reunited with him in His perfection. I, and all believers, are linked with Him in His eternality.
