When we consider that everything we can think of in existence can be traced back to a cause we have no reason to make an exception of the existence of the universe.
I believe this an example of the fallacy of misplaced concreteness, but I don't feel like explaining it, both because I'm lazy, and for other reasons. If you're going to introduce a cosmological argument in support of your argument from design, I request that you do so explicitly and support it on its merits.
