Gah! I hate it when people litter their posts with "[color=#000000][size=medium][font=Calibri]". it makes it really difficult to quote them.
I'm not a physicist but I did hear that the theory of general relativity, it's not just a matter of time dilation but also length contraction. So a beam of light travelling at the speed of light reaches its destination instantaneously.

Two points here. First you are equivocating with the word 'cause'. This always assumes that something acts upon something else, but what causes the weather for example? There is more explanatory power in understanding it as a self organising system in which matter rearranges itself due to the flow of energy.
Secondly, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, there is no need to invoke anything else. We can explain in more or less detail how energy led to matter and how complexity has grown since the Big Bang.
