We know the universe in its current configuration had a beginning, we do not know that the universe hasn't existed eternally in some form; and we don't know that it isn't a causeless effect. Effect doesn't even reliably follow cause within the universe (Casimir effect due to virtual particles appearing without cause comes to mind), and it's a fallacy of composition to assume that what applies within the universe applies TO the universe.
the U. had a beginning per theory of general relativity. no human has ever witness a violation of the cause-effect relationship, but of course were talking physics, not metaphysics.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
