When we look back at the chain of events that led to our existence - evolution, the formation of the solar system, and all the way back to the Big Bang - we naturally feel that there cannot have been an infinite regression of causes, and that at some point there must have been something that caused all this, but was itself uncaused.
Supposing that this is true, why do we anthropomorphise this first cause, assign it human characteristics, and assume that it is deeply concerned with the minutiae of human lives? Isn't it more reasonable to assume a natural event just like all the other natural events which led to the existence of the observable universe?
