What would the world look like if there was no God?

It’s fairly clear why people used to think the sun revolved around the earth — that’s how it looks to someone standing still on earth. That is, until they observe the positions of other things in space, such as other stars. But still, it’s completely understandable that the geocentric universe theory was the generally accepted one for a long time.

The same goes for creation. Humans create things. When they see things they didn’t create, their first thought is about who (or what) created it. If you say “God made this,” then it makes sense to anyone who doesn’t have a better explanation. They are “standing still,” mentally. But once we start to explain things formerly attributed to gods, the gods are no longer necessary to explain the natural world. Once we become mentally active, and stop standing still (start asking questions), we learn and grow.

So what would this world look like with no creator? Exactly the way it looks now.
