The general idea of "cause", often referred to as "first cause", is that stuff doesn't come from nothing, so someone, (you know who), had to create, (cause), the universe. But it's a circular argument because then you have to ask, who created God?

The usual answer is, "God was always here." That's the end of the discussion because it seems that some people can imagine a supernatural being always existing, but not the universe, and/or whatever did, or didn't, come before that.

If you aren't prepared to accept the supernatural on faith alone, these old arguments, gussied up with some fancy science and philosophy jargon, simply don't hold water.

The big bang theory predicted that there would be a background noise from the explosion still detectible in deep space; the noise was detected - in fact, it's a problem in radio astronomy that there is always noise present.
