Some interesting comments gum,
Does a Creator exist?
That covers a wide spectrum of beliefs, which includes the God of the Bible.
A belief in a Creator doesn't necessarily imply a belief in the God of the Bible.

It's clear to me, that you know this Creator doesn't exist as why would you bring up the issue?
And I concede it's most likely true.
On the atheist - theist spectrum that places you closer to the atheist end of the spectrum than I am because I don't know that this is likely to be true because I just have no evidence that to the best of my knowledge enables me to make such a call.

Is the Creator the God of the Bible?
I don't know, but I hope not.
Why?
Several reasons including:
Holding his whole creation responsible for the mistake (sin) committed by a naive couple.
Drowning practically the whole of his creation because he was not happy with his first attempt.
Murdering the firstborn in Egypt, including babies.
Handing over the task of taking the pain and suffering to his Son to deal with the problems of his creation.

In this, we see an egotistic God with little to no signs of empathy.

Could we do better without a Creator to make the world a better place?
If a Creator exists he/she/it does not seem to have made much difference.

But you're completely overlooking the fact that he gave an inspired book to give you information you don't want or care about implementing the philosophy in it for making the world a better place or a place for your eternal soul.

You don't see any empathy in His Word?
Little or no signs?
Which brings to the point of the inspired philosophy.
You are so caught up with that a life of flesh is everything in eternity.
The bible says the flesh counts for nothing, what does that mean?
Why bother finding out?
You will become dead. Everybody will.
You have plenty of evidence of that.
The earth will disappear.
In all that time frame you think 70, 80, 90 or even 100 years or more is something significant.
The flesh counts for nothing, what does that mean?
And if those lives are so important to you, what have you done about making it a better world where these things won't ever happen again?
Oh that's right it's a place where things eat things etc etc etc
But I get what you say. It's not oblivious to me but the philosophy of the Word of God is oblivious to you.
The flesh counts for nothing!
Take comfort, in eternity our thoughts, celebrations or sufferings, your several reasons of fleshly deaths, all mean shit because at some time they will all fade into oblivion.
That is why I say I concede it's most likely true.
And of course, it is good that you have no soul. You don't, do you?
