If Jesus Christ were the Almighty God, why did he say this to Mary?

"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God" (John 20:17 KJV). "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I (John 14:28 NIV). If Jesus were God why did he tell Mary he would be going to his God? If Jesus Christ were God, why did he say, "the Father is greater than I?"

Who is God?

"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth" (Psalm 83:18 KJV).

Is there a God?

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1ASV). If there is no God, where did everybody and everything come from?
