Questioned about the cosmological view

In the SD
Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask, in the cosmological view, following the fallacy that everything has a cause, proven by the denial that there is a God, and the use of lex specialis to reduce the principle of causality to one link (at least) in the chain.
But why can’t the initial matter that existed in the Big Bang fit into this? After all, it is an unknown object. Just as, according to science, only after the explosion did the laws of nature crystallize or come into being, they talk about it being ancient, etc. That Sinegalitarian point or whatever you call it.
I’m asking the rabbi here from the hat of a scientist and philosopher.
Personally, it doesn’t seem reasonable to me because of dualism (and the physicsological aspect), but I think that in terms of the position on an entity unknown to us, it fits well with the criteria. Like wine for a glass. And a mask for a face.

In principle, the cosmological view proves the existence of something ancient that created the world. It could be anything, including the primordial matter if it is truly something other than the matter we are familiar with. But the initial matter that existed in the Big Bang is matter like any other matter, and therefore it is not reasonable to view it as something that exists without a cause that created it. I think I said that the cosmological view cannot be separated from the physico-theological one. The complexity of the world requires an intelligent creator.
