I think the whole problem is that humans are hard-wired to look for causes, and for first causes, but there are bnever any "first" causes.
when cloud vapor gets heavy enough it falls as rain. cloud vapor does not form though unless there is some speck of dust or pollen to condense the water vapor. and that does not happen unless a windtorm kicks up dust from the sahara , let's say, and that does not happen unless living things dieand dessicate and become dust, and that does not happen unless something is born, and that does not happen unless single-celled organisms develop on earth, and that does not happen unless the earth is formed with a moon to stabilize it, and that does nto happen unless the solar system develops in the outer reaches of the milky way away from radiation and the tumult of the inner galaxy and that.....
