You correctly identified what infinite regress is but if there is this supposed eternity of the past of cause and effects, you would have happened already, having had an eternity to do so, so you should have happened already. Therefore, nature needs a cause outside of itself, outside of time and space being uncreated.
This uncreated cause or Creator is what we call God so it is illogical to ask what caused the uncaused. You're dumb.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
