God, by definition, is the uncaused cause. Only things that begin to exist need a cause, and God did not begin to exist. He is eternal. That is not ignorance, it is a logical necessity. If there is no eternal something, then you are left with something from nothing, which is impossible. We both have to believe in something eternal; the question is whether it is eternal mindless matter, or an eternal intelligent mind. The evidence from the beginning of the universe, fine tuning, and moral law points to the latter.

Why is something from nothing impossible? Have you got any nothing we can test? I haven't got to believe in anything eternal, because I have the humility to say "I don't know" God perhaps did not begin to exist (I agree in a sense) but you claim he began to act. Why? When? How? This is what I mean when I say you have only given a name to your ignorance.
