'Scripture' says merely that "God" magicked the Universe - actually the Earth and the heavens - into being from nothingness. It fits no evidence outside the story. It says nothing about where it came from, so why should we take anything in the story seriously about where it's supposed to end up?
"Why God?" Because you want so desperately to make belief in "God" at least plausible, you've got the cart before the horse and presupposed that character's existence before awkwardly cramming it into the observed Universe. Unfortunately, by so doing, you have to alter, ignore and otherwise ridicule anything that, rather inconveniently, doesn't fit that picture. Reality, for instance.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
