Why not just say that matter began to exist from nothing? Why does one need God as a cause when the proposition "God, a timeless being, created matter from nothing at a definite time in the past" is no less obscure than "Matter began to exist following nothingness and without any cause"?

Doesn't sound as satisfying I guess.
