a) The very first domino just fell over all by itself without any cause whatsoever.
b) The chain of dominoes is infinitely long so no first falling domino is required.
c) An external agent pushed the very first one over.
"a" is to give up on a rational explanations. If the first domino falls all by itself, then why can't all the other dominoes just fall by themselves?
"b" simply leaves unanswered as to why an infinite chain of dominoes exist. It either exists without a cause -- in which case again we have to give up on a rational explanation -- or they were caused by an external agent.
Opting for "a" or "b" is to give up on providing an explanation. Only "c" is viable.
The same goes for the entire physical Universe (and no, what caused God is not a valid refutation).
