That's why the Kalam Argument is phrased "Anything that began to exist must have a cause of it's existence".
- If things can happen without causes, then we have no need of a creator god. "The universe just happened" is every bit as good an explanation as "My god exists without cause."
- Since you claim your creator god is eternal, you are not avoiding "a past infinite regression absurdity."
- There is no sense of "begin" for which your god didn't begin but the rest of the universe did. Therefore--even according to your own logic--if the rest of the universe needs a cause, so does your god.
