Knowing the little we do know about quantum mechanics the cause could have been a particle immensely minuscule that caused the "Big Bang" thus starting along the chain of events leading to our present day.
Also, because I know that the path will go there after that statement, the particle need not have had a cause seeing as how currently our understanding of matter and energy state that nothing disappears it only changes form, meaning that ultimately there can be causes for everything which then puts us in a position that means our universe is infinitely old because everything in existence has always been there just continuously changing form.
This then leads to the ultimate conclusion that if everything has always been and just changes form, then there could be no God, because everything has always been without regard of a higher power controlling everything.
Normally I would delve further into this, but it seems you would at least accept that God is one of the plausible causes of the world, and that is enough for our current purpose. Using the process of elimination, we now would not need any direct evidence of God other than that the world exists (and that other possible causes have been crossed out) to prove his existence, would we?
