If you call X "God" by definition, you may find yourself praying to the Big Bang, or to mathematics.
There is a mysterious force inherent in all matter and energy which binds the universe together. We call it "gravity", and it obeys differential equations.
The Big Bsng and mathematics are good candidates. I've considered them. It only sounds ridiculous because you mentioned praying to them. The value of 'praying to X' is again something you need to deduce, rather than assume.
Nah, gravity isn't universal or fundamental enough. That is, I would be very surprised if it was a 'first cause' in any way.
