A timeless, spaceless cause also just pushes the problem back.
Why does God exist? What caused God? The ultimate answer is you don't know.
I don't know what caused outer space to exist or the Big Bang to happen (if it did), and I call my unknowing "ignorance". You don't know either, but you call your unknowing "God".

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.
