Yes, we do. From an evolutionary viewpoint, human reproduction - in all of its various facets - is more important than the shape of the room it's done in.

You should be standing on their shoulders, like Newton.

He claims that the laws of nature cause the universe. But he doesn't explain where the laws of nature come from.
Several years ago I witnessed a phenomenon in which snowballs formed spontaneously on everybody's lawn. It's a rare phenomenon requiring exact wind and temperature conditions but it is a well-understood phenomenon.
The laws of nature "caused" those snowballs without the intervention of any outside entity (though it was tempting to think that it was some kind of gigantic prank).
The laws of nature don't have to "come from" anywhere. They just are. They're properties of nature, just like wind conditions and snow conditions. Anything that exists will have properties whether anybody/anything "puts" them there or not.

Prior to the big bang, when time did not exist, were there laws of nature
There is no "prior to the Big Bang", just like - as somebody else has noted - there is no "north of the North Pole". Are there laws of nature north of the North Pole?

Perhaps instead of a Creator, we have an eternal observer.
Perhaps there's an eternal straw for us to clutch at.

Black holes pull very large objects into them such as planets and stars, they clearly go into another dimension.
I don't think that's clear at all.

So a definition in this case of a dimension it is a sphere shaped location not in this universe.
You seem to be using the word "dimension" to refer to some spooky woo place - another world, as it were, or an alternate universe. In fact, the word "dimension" already has a real meaning.

And our geese will blot out the sun.
