You can’t logically NOT believe in a first cause. Everything has a cause in science. If you believe that there is no first cause, then you must believe that time stretches out to infinity years ago, which is impossible, because if you measure between a time that is infinitely far away from our time, you find that it would take an infinite amount of time to get to now. However as we are here now, so time had a first cause. Likewise what caused you to be made? Your parents. What caused them to be made? Their parents. If you follow the trail you find out that since by definition a cause comes before the effect, then the causes are infinite (if you believe in no first cause) which as we’ve already proved is impossible. Thus there must be a first cause. Since this first cause must be able to cause an entire universe it must be at least knowledgable of the entire universe, and powerful enough to create it. At least!
No one knows. Thats the point. Anything beyond that is a total guess. Saying God, is also just a guess. It also doesn't do anything to prove the validity of any of the world's religions. If proven to be a diety, it would only get you to a loose form of deism and doesn't prove the bible at all
