You're assuming there was a first cause. There's nothing that says there had to be a first cause.
At the beginning of the Universe, there was the Big Bang. The universe at that time was a singularity, or very close to one. Before that, there's nothing that we know about the universe. We don't even know if there was a "before". If there was a before, in any sense of the word, then this universe is only part of a mega-universe that this one happened in. If there was such a mega-universe, we know nothing of the laws of physics that would apply to it.
So, the short answer to that question is that we don't know, and anybody who says they do is just making stuff up.

The cosmological argument is a metaphysical argument for the existence of God, or a first mover of the cosmos. It is traditionally known as an "argument from universal causation," an "argument from first cause," and also as an "uncaused cause" argument. Whichever term is used, there are three basic variants of this argument, each with subtle but important distinctions: the argument from causation in esse, the argument from causation in fieri, and the argument from contingency. The cosmological argument does not attempt to prove anything about the first cause or about God, except to argue that such a cause must exist. This cause is known in Latin as "causa sui."

If there is a first cause, it is unknown. Both Theists and Atheists that make a claim asserting one way or another are being intellectually dishonest. However, the Atheist point of view, in light of all other evidence of the world, appears more reasonable.

Why would you think there was one? Most everything we see is chaotic, why assume that there are causes?

PURE JOY, it is the cause of everything. No reason, just JOY OF BEING.
