Good stuff! When you say that the universe cannot have a causal explanation, do you mean physical? It seems like God is a perfectly plausible causal explanation,
There are 4 types of causation. 1) what something is made of 2) how something works 3) the timeline of events 4) the end-goal of the thing You can't have a goal without having a history. You can't have a history without having a way things work. You can't have things working a certain way if you don't have anything that they're made of. That's why God doesn't work as an explanation. You're trying to say what happened in history when there was no history, there was just a way things work. Here's a better answer: Existence is made of possiblity. Possibility works by being organized by simplicity. Our laws of physics are one possible universe. Our possible universe seems like the only actual universe because it's the only one we can see.
