And that cause is God...,
Then using the same logic, God, by default, is something too.
This demands that he have a cause as well.
So, what caused God?
You can use the "Bible" all you want to disprove or prove God, but the fact is that hundreds of varieties of "Gods" & "Bibles" are in existence, but I have yet to see a one of them anywhere!
Bible aside, following this logical example posted above...,
If you were to say that everything that is needs a cause, so that has to be God, then overlooking the "Oh, God doesn't need a cause because he always has been" bologna, we see you can't just pick & choose what things to apply this law to.
Otherwise, you could just as well discredit the works of doctors & say God healed you instead.
If you think God is doing everything, why don't you stop putting your faith in doctors & only trust in God then?
What's that, you afraid God won't heal you?
Pity, sounds like a nice God!!!
Ok, back to work, what caused God? Applies to all things!!!

God Himself tells us in his word that He wrote that He is the beginning and the end. I believe Him.
What is logical in believing that we evolved from nothing?
In answer to your reference concerning doctors. Here is my parable for you:
There was once a man who was stranded on the rooftop of his house during a flood. The rain was poring down. He prayed for God to rescue him.
A boat came by. The stranded man told the man in the boat that he couldn't leave with him because he was waiting for God to rescue him. The man in the boat left.
A helicopter flew overhead. The stranded man told the pilot that he couldn't come with him because he was waiting for God to rescue him. The pilot left.
The stranded man in the flood drowned.

You are right in saying that for anything to come into existence there has to be a cause. However God is eternal so He does not come to exist rather He is ever existing. Even if you are not spiritually inclined you can still accept the fact that all creations are an efect of one or more causes and all these causes must have come from somewhere, an uncaused point which is not caused in itself but creates the necessary causes to effect creation. The spritualist know this point of origin to be God. It's just a word to describe the undescribable.
p.s not sure if there is a word as "undescribable" but hope you get my point.

Your initial question demands that God had a beginning and should therefore have a cause...but He had no beginning. He therefore could not have been "caused." Simple logic, but probably unacceptable to one who can't believe that time was also created by God. If you want to argue that, post a different question...
God created the world with a set of rules (i.e. physics, time, fluid mechanics). God created man with certain physicological needs as well as a brain for figuring out how to cure ailments to the body. Therefore, by utilizing the knowledge of medicine, you're trusting in God's design of the human brain to retain knowledge and problem-solve physiological issues.
So, my question to you is.. if God ISN'T doing it, what or who is? Is it you? If it is, then why don't you stop going to the doctor and heal yourself? What's that, you afraid you can't do it?

If everything that is, must have a cause?
This is the rule... then God is the exception that defines everything.
Trying to explain God to people on earth is like trying to explain the Artist to his cartoon
it simple is not possible for the creature to understand the creator or any type of reality past the dimension of his existance.
It is like trying to explain to a child what is like to be an adult.
1 they would never understand
2 they really don't care anyway their to happy to just be children and enjoy life
peace

Understandably, when someone answers "No one created God, God IS God," it seems generic. That's really the only answer there is. For His ways are above our ways and his thought above ours. I know this is going to sound like a generic answer too. Maybe it is.. but even still, I know God exists, God is WELL able to do miracles, and God is good.

Chess when king is a position that it is in check and all other moves result in the same position - checkmate - end of game, if a person is born, lives , dies what is he before he is conceived? before god emptiness/void/absence of existence.
nothing before - beginning of all things/God - expansion of everything from that point! Or so many would believe..

Read Thomas Aquinas. God is the primary cause.
