How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard

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

In fact, given the connection of space and time, what we know about the origins of our current expansionary universe denotes a highly different configuration of space, and thus the same is true for time. The odds are actually against the fallacy you're making anyway, even if we just ignore the flaw in the logic and treat it as a serious contention.
It works to everything that is in state of change from one state to another.
