Without God how did this world come to be?

Those two separate questions, and pretty broad ones.....
Short answer is, we don't know for sure. We have some pretty good ideas though.
1) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang
2) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis
Additionally, the concept of god doesn't get you anywhere in terms of the origins of the universe. You're just adding another layer, because god would need a cause too....IOW, who designed the designer?
It's observed that the arrival of higher animals (intelligent ones) occurs late in the developmental process of our planet, and they come to be by means of evolution-they evolve from simpler organisms
God is not only not needed, but also an obstruction in explaining the origins of life and the universe, because his presence raises more questions than it gives answers-and thus he is quickly disposed of by Ockham's razor
