And it's worse than that because even if we accepted the premise that if God existed he wouldn't be contingent.... the argument still just puts God in the conclusion without explanation. There's no reason to believe that the reason has to be God. Even if we accept that if it did need to be God then he wouldn't be contingent.... the question would still be "But why does it need to be God?"
