But you can break the above creating chain if you believe the first engineer is almighty and exist beside space and time.
Belief explains nothing.
The "First-Cause" is refuted by the question it tries to solve (everything that exists has a cause), which it's also probably one of the weakest proposals ever. All done is a request for special pleading for what one wish to add (God) but one can't suggest rules and then break them.
Space and time are theoretical limits in logic, constructing a sentence that breaks the meaning of those words (outside space and time) is possible in language, but is a logical paradox.
If special pleading and logical paradoxes are possible we can just as well propose that the universe itself exists beyond what we perceive as space and time. Once we break logic anything is possible and every suggestion is plausible.
And then again if someone doesn't agree/like/believe my conclusions - What is your answer to the question "Why is not Nothing ?"
Why are the laws of nature so, that it was possible to create materials more complex than hydrogen, forming galaxies with material clouds, stars and planets and life ?
A slight variation of Newton's gravitational constant and life would never be possible at all.
You think teleologically. You look at the end and ask "how did this happen" when you should have asked "how did we get here". Look at the smallest buildingblock we know and how it interracts with other buildingblocks, then scale. When you see that simple rules is all it takes to build complex patterns, the complex becomes not so complex.

The periodic table in physics seems daunting at first, but after some time with it, it becomes very simple. Positive particles (protons) and negative particles (electrons) really do it all by themselves.
If we have more questions, saying "I do not know" is what gives us a reason to do research to learn more. If we instead try to fill the void with an answer that is even more complex and relies on logical paradoxes we shortcut our capacity for progress.
