I'm not saying this is proof of God, but it seems scientifically impossible that there's a natural explanation to it.
Hey, now we're getting somewhere!
The short answer is that, as of now, we don't know how the universe began, but science is still looking, and we have some good evidence for the big bang such as cosmic background radiation, universal expansion and so on. What happened before the big bang isn't known, and it's possible there's a god back there, but what you'll find is that most atheist aren't willing to give that idea credence just yet, and are waiting for more evidence. In fact, "before" the big bang might not even be a concept that makes sense, since you're essentially asking what happened before time began. Without time, there's no before for things to happen in.
Which is also the problem you're going to have when asking "doesn't everything require a cause?" Well, as far as we know, most things within the universe do, but that doesn't necessarily mean that things outside of the universe do, especially when you're talking about a place where everything we know about time and physics no longer apply. It's simply too muddy to safely say anything about yet: why not just let ourselves say "I don't know," right now, rather than forcing a god in there?
That helpful?

Edited to add: I don't think anyone here is saying you're lying. As far as I can tell, we just think you're mistaken as to what you think the cause of this event was.
