Ok, but your post above (#14) seems to suggest you do think it was sentient in some way.

But yes, I have no problem agreeing that if there was a state of things in which our universe did not exist then something outside of our universe caused it to exist.

That said, even if purely physical that does not mean it will necessarily be possible to determine the process that happened. Just as if I told you to think of an integer and then tell me the square of it, when you told me your result was 16, I would have no way to objectively determine whether the integer you thought of was 4 or -4. Initial conditions are not always apparent in the resulting condition.
