No, we don't know that "something" caused everything. That is applying everyday cause and effect thinking to an increasingly distorted and incredibly weird scenario as we try and model what happened around the plank time. We simply don't know. Just making up answers doesn't aid understanding.
Even if there was a cause, then I'd call it a cause. For all we know, it's a computer programmer making this reality as a simulation, or the point at which our reality broke off from another one and grew on its own.
Calling it "God" straight away suggests a load of extra features, not least of which is sentience. I understand the need to give everything a personality and link it to us, but there is no grounds to do so, even if there is such a cause. If "God" just means "cause", then why use a different word? Trying to slip in someone personal favourite specific God maybe
