Paris Hilton. In any case, if causality did exist, you can't assume that the cause was a God. Even if what preceded our universe did not carry the properties of time, space, and matter, this does not mean that it was God. Perhaps what preceded the universe had other properties by which things were defined.
For that matter, we don't even know that what comprises our universe began with the Big Bang. The Big Bang theory suggests not that it is The Beginning of all time, space, and matter, but rather the beginning of the organization of these properties that we recognize as our universe, and their evolution into the pattern of today.
In short, God cannot be proven or disproven.
Faith (n.) : Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.
As with all arguments attempting to prove (or disprove, for that matter) the existence of God, this one has holes that sink the ship.
The critical mistake is the assumption that we can make assumptions about ANYTHING preceding our universe, which is simply not the case. This lack of knowledge arises from the singularity of the Big Bang. We cannot (in the foreseeable future, and probably ever) know what existed before the Big Bang, or if indeed anything did "exist," whether it be a God, another universe composed of time/space/matter, or an average-sized, slightly overripe mango.
We know nothing of if causality applied before the Big Bang. Maybe the preceding universe got bored, and decided to go out, get wasted, and Big Bang, or maybe it wasn't
