Your question isn’t really answerable as written.

Feel free to reframe the question.
So we can move on to - Is Everything Happening by Cause and Effect?

Atomic decay and virtual particles don't seem to have causes, so I'd say no; but on a human scale and up, yes; with the caveat that cause and effect are things we observe withing the universe and may not apply to how/why the universe began, if it really did.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
