Just screwing around with logic isn't enough to prove things about reality and beyond; and infinite regression isn't a logical problem anyway.

Once you cross prior to the initial boundary of our universe, all you have is logic and metaphysics. If your position is that it does not apply, that is an opinion not based in fact. At least for those that believe logic and metaphysics can help us answer questions about prior conditions, we have 13 billion years of evidence that has been 100% reliable.
When we weigh your unsupported opinion against 13 billion years of dependable evidence, I will go with the evidence.
