I suppose when it comes to the actual cause of the universe (a quantum fluxuation, a black hole in another universe, or whatever), this could possibly be true. Maybe between space/time bubbles, cause and effect cannot exist in the same universe. This is, of course, grand speculation.
I disagree with you in that, if indeed the Abrahamic god did exist (and what a huge "if"), he could simply break that rule and reveal hisself to us anyway, since he's all-powerful.
Of course, then he could have just broken his own rule of requiring human sacrifice for redemption, but that's another point entirely.
All powerful= instant obliteration...Its a wash.
