Every thing that has a begining has a cause.
The universe has a begining, so something caused it.
Christianity say God, being outside of time and space was that cause.

While you don't have to believe it, you do have to have a more reasonable explanation.
That's not true, a claim without evidence is just...well...a claim. I could say I think an all powerful, eternal K9 called Fido was that cause with equal evidence behind the claim. Actually not quite equal because we know that K9s exist.

Cause and effect. Matter is made of energy and holds itself into matter with properties.
There is no scientific reason why this happened.
There is no scientific reason why life exists.
There is no scientific reason why people believe in God.
We are the effect and God is the only logical first cause.

There is only one God. What name you use is up to you.
Dr. Karma if you will.

Causality isn't actually a fundamental of science.

No it doesn't.

Causality is preserved inside the light cone.
In the yellow region in the so called space-like region event O may proceed event P in one frame of reference yet follow it in another frame.

That's not strictly true. Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, and in physics at a fundamental level (micro scale), all interactions are time-reversible, there is no distinction between past and future or cause and effect. They are emergent with the arrow of time. It's certainly true that at higher levels, where the arrow of time is relevant, they are considered fundamental, but this is much the same as saying that bricks and mortar, concrete, and wood, are fundamental to buildings - but bricks and mortar, concrete, and wood, are not themselves fundamental, they are made of various atoms - which are themselves not fundamental.

There is only one outcome, but many ways to reach it.
Seriously? I listed just 4 out of hundreds of possible outcomes, and you agreed they are all possible. They included wins for both white and black. And now you want to claim there is only one outcome?

There are scientific explanations for those questions.
Science only provides temporary placeholder theories destined to be replaced by new ones later. That is the foundation of science, to replace old truths.

So, you acknowledge that explanations exist (temporary placeholder theories in your vocabulary). Good. You note these may be replaced by improved explanations later. It seems you wholly accept @FrumiousBandersnatch 's statement that science has explanations for your list.

That is the foundation of science, to replace old truths.
Please provide a relevant citation from a work of philosophy, or the history of science that supports this claim. Otherwise your statement may be dismissed as unsupported opinion.

Wikipedia is being very general; nevertheless, there is no reference to 'causes' or the arrow of time in the equations of fundamental physics, they are emergent, higher-level properties. The arrow of time is a feature of statistical mechanics (aka thermodynamics), the macro-scale coarse-graining of fundamental time-reversible interactions, in the context of a low-entropy past (the big bang).

No, they're not necessarily destined to be replaced by new ones. They may be modified or replaced.

It is not your desires that drive God's choice, but yours --yes, indeed it is.

But if the choice has already been made, then it's not my choice, is it? So whatever was driving that choice, it wasn't up to me in any way.
