If you want to believe that God (a first cause) is not needed, all you have to do is admit that the universe (or a predecessor) is infinite in the past--in spite that being logically absurd. If you want to "show" that creation is not possible (as you think you did) you would have to show a logical proof where the individual premises are supported and then concludes there is no God. No one has done that yet so good luck with that.

A car going at a constant speed of 3km/hr could travel for an infinite amount of time and still not overtake a truck going at a constant speed of 4km/hr.  Does this show that infinity is a real thing?

The concept is real enough. You are confusing a potential infinite with an actual infinite.
