Stephen Hawking was a physicist dealing with the subtopic of Cosmology. Cosmology is not science in the usual repeatable laboratory sense. All interpretations rely on one’s set of or one’s beginning set of assumptions. These assumptions determine the model, and the standard big bang model has many fundamental, unprovable assumptions, of which the cosmological principle is key.
However, the following explains the logic for a first cause:
Whatever begins to exist has a cause - Everything which has a beginning has a cause - The Universe began to exist - The Universe has a beginning - Therefore, the Universe has a cause.
As I see it, your beginning assumptions determine how you will chase and explain the beginning cause and how you will interpret your assumptions after that existence came into effect.
The sense or hype that the materialistic or naturalistic view of science has superior scientific respectability is not only superficial, it is arrogant and unfounded.
