Bullshit. That's a false dichotomy.
Under a naturalistic worldview, there are no inferences you can make from the physical world that explains something causally prior to the existence of the physical world. It is a feature of the worldview.
As far as a false dichotomy, what are the candidates for a first cause besides God and brute fact?
