No ,cause and effect apply only to the macroscopic world. They do apply to the quantum world by statistics only and are not strictly causal. Virtual Particles are created in pairs with a limited timespan. Created without a causal connection other than it has to be this way. They will be annihilated immediatly in order to not break the law of energy conservation.

This can happen according to physics: If you stare Billions of trillions of years on one empty space sooner or later a Cheeseburger will appear and plop into existance.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing

"In physics, the word nothing is not used in any technical sense. A region of space is called a vacuum if it does not contain any matter, though it can contain physical fields. In fact, it is practically impossible to construct a region of space that contains no matter or fields, since gravity cannot be blocked and all objects at a non-zero temperature radiate electromagnetically. However, even if such a region existed, it could still not be referred to as "nothing", since it has properties and a measurable existence as part of the quantum-mechanical vacuum. Where there is supposedly empty space there are constant quantum fluctuations with particles continually popping into and out of existence. It had long been theorized that space is distinct from a void of nothingness in that space consists of some kind of aether, with luminiferous aether serving as the transmission medium for propagating light waves."

I am not judging you. All I am saying is that there must be no cause. Saying there must be a cause is just a guess not backed up by Physics.
