Just because you can come up with categories, your "category error" charge is nonsense unless there is a category that somehow does not have a causal principle. Is there a category that has no causal principle? 
Bloody Kalam again.

P1. Everything that begins to exist has a case

False. And since P1 is false the whole argument fails, but nevertheless
.

P2. The universe began to exist.

Did it? Were you there? How do you know this? Where is your Nobel prize?

C. Therefore, the universe has a cause.

Unsupported since P1 and P2 are falsified.

Goodnight Kalam, go home you are drunk.
