Why do I personally think there is a first cause?
I will use the metaphor of a fish tank with a some different fish swimming around inside.
From my human view the fish seem like they are imprisoned inside a small glass container only somehow they look perfectly content just swimming around inside 4 corners waiting for the next bite when they get hungry. I ask how are they really content and wouldn't want to disturb them inside that glass container. How will they ever never know there is an ocean out there? The human only knows there is a better a place and wants to see the fish make it to the ocean one day.
Humans are the most divine form of creatures on this earth. It would only make sense that there is another higher wisdom above us that is also knowing of this better place too- even if its not available to our perception yet until we shake off our earthly body.
