Granted, the straw man version is a lot more convenient.
1) Theists don't adequately make the case for God having existed forever (other than definitionally and via a rather shaky appeal to infinite regress) and 2) This is nowhere near establishing a theistic god.

No one claims that a first cause argument gets you to the God of the Bible.
