Effect doesn't even reliably follow cause within the universe (Casimir effect due to virtual particles appearing without cause comes to mind), and it's a fallacy of composition to assume that what applies within the universe applies TO the universe.
the U. had a beginning per theory of general relativity. no human has ever witness a violation of the cause-effect relationship, but of course were talking physics, not metaphysics.
metaphysics had a beginning ...when idiots invented it ......

What does this have to do with what we are talking about? I was pointing out that possible doesn't mean probable. Are you just trying to divert the course of this conversation with unfounded assertions?

possible doesn't mean probable. got it. but not disposed to laminate it for my wallet to carry around.

Are you ever going to respond to me again Snowtracks? 'Atheistic origin science' has no answer for the universe's existence, but I gave you a few possiblities that you stra manned then stopped responding to:

Yeah, wouldn't want you to learn anything, would we? 
Incidentally, I'm still waiting on that scientific proof that the easter bunny didn't create the universe, that you said you had a few pages back.

General relativity and quantum mechanics break down at the singularity, we only know what happened in the 'second moment' of the initial expansion, not what preceded. We don't know how long the singularity was there before it expanded, whether it had ever expanded previously (it could be an eternal singularity that cycles through expansion and collapse), or whether it appeared out of the quantum foam.
Virtual particles and atomic decay are effects without causes and have been observed. Their behavior can be predicted statistically but it's impossible to predict when a given atom will decay or virtual particle pair appear because they are things that just happen. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle requires virtual particles to appear randomly and causelesly (because it is impossible to know the exact position and momentum of a particle simultaneously and position and momentum both being zero would be knowing where a particle does not exist and how it's not moving simultaneously) and that is what our instruments observe.
