How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard

RE: How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard

But it doesn't make sense to say the singularity always existed. If it always existed, it would never change and would exist now. While there is no going back before the first point of time, it also didn't always exist. So if we go backwards, every state moves from another state. Yet to say the first state of the universe simply eternally existed, would go against all the states we know of the universe: that they began to exist.

This is actually the real special pleading. And it's Atheists that often do this special pleading with the first state of the universe, ironically, accusing God of being special pleading.
