Not at all.  Something that has always existed has no need of 'first
cause'.

In fact that isn't true. You seem to consider 'god' to be a sentient
being whereas the concept of an eternal unthinking universe governed
solely by the laws of physics is far easier to accept than the eternal
existence of a being who developed fully formed and conscious!!
