Perhaps, but I think most people are secure enough to say they don't know the cause of the universe. Given our current understanding, this seems to me to be the only reasonable position.
Besides, if we want to get into silly causes of the universe, I think the magic, bearded man that always existed but somehow was lonely and felt the yearning to create whipped up the universe with a snap of his fingers is a far sillier cause than to believe it is the result of unconscious, unintentional forces.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
