And that suggests that even if you disallow infinite regress (which is a logical possibility), that there will be *multiple* uncaused causes, possibly at different times and different locations.
And, of course, we know this to actually be the case: many quantum events are, in fact, uncaused causes and there are so many of these that the whole argument is blown out of the water.
How do we know this? How is it determined that something is without a cause?
