martinguerre, probably not.
our brains are concept generating engines. one of the common patterns we use to impose a sense of order on things is to create chains of cause and effect. we see events as the effects of causes and by projecting backwards, we can easily come up with a notion of a first cause.
that's just a single example of the kinds of projection (both proleptic and the reverse) that we employ to create fictitious concepts of all sorts. without some other parameters for our thought, we'd all be insane - that is, if the fact that our brain conjures up a concept gives the concept some validity...
