Well I would think when people ask "What caused everything" they are thinking - well I at least think the following - that whatever the first cause is...that caused everything...they aren't asking for what caused the first cause too...that doesn't count as part of the everything because you can't have an explanation for the first cause; I think by definition!

I would think people mean... "everything that we know that exists now....what caused that? What is the first cause?" I don't think everything includes the first cause itself. You can't have a cause before the genuine first cause of course.
