So - drop the notion of God as creator, make the problem disappear
I don't seem to have much of a problem reconciling a Creator with the evil-doings of Man. Nevertheless, to what
do
you attribute existence, if not a "First Cause" of at least some sort? Is it turtles all the way down?
and just move on.
Yeah, just move on. To this:
I define God as a very real, living Presence; as infinite wisdom and infinite compassion; eternal spiritual life; and Unimpeded Light - very similar to the BuddhaMind, the Dharmakaya, the Tao, the Gnostic Christian "True Father". At most, God could only be some kind of "Emanator", like the Ein Sof in the Kabbalah, but nothing so confused or paltry as a creator/maintainer of matter, worlds, or universes. From an Eastern POV, I have a functional equivalent of the Western Panentheistic God in the form of a primordial Buddha, called Amida Buddha, who is not a God, not a creator, not an intervener, not a judge.
Piece of cake!

"Always was" is no more bizarre than "popped out of nothing", and is probably less so.

You seemed to have preferred "I'm Still Standing".

Oh oh oh are we making up our own religions and beliefs?
I wanna play! I wanna play!
Oh oh oh, you can play, except not if you tell lies about other posters, like saying they make up religions and beliefs. If you wish to expand your religious education, you will find sources in which God, and functional equivalents of God, are not necessarily deemed to be a Creator/creators.
Just cuz you haven't heard of something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
