[Oyk]

Generally speaking, Buddhism is a religion that does not include the belief in a monotheistic creator deity.[1][2][3] As such, it has often been described as either (non-materialistic) atheism or as nontheism,

I know.

The Christians believe in first cause. That means all things were created by a higher power.

Buddhism eschews this belief but does not offer any explanation for why we exist, why the earth is there, why there's a moon. 

It identified the reason for why we suffer and summarized that in the 4NT. This suffering is in our inner self which you can call soul or spirit, whichever you prefer. But it cannot explain why the body suffers from pain due to diseases.
