Yep -- it's a variation of what I refer to as "the turtles problem". (After "it's turtles all the way down".) Asserting the existence of God doesn't actually solve the underlying philosophical problems, it just ducks them. Of course, most scientific explanations for where the world comes from have the same problem, in a different form: they go until they hit the philosophical brick wall, and then quietly ignore that it's there.
A lot of my current philosophizing is driven by this, and it leads me down some *very* strange roads...
