It never says how it did it or where it got the stuff, just waggled its magic nose and everything just happened.
It literally just avoids explaining things and has no positive value.
If you see someone claiming that "god did it" is a good explanation, or that nose-waggling is involved, you should argue against that person.
The first cause argument involves neither of those things. It says that all contingent things rely for their existence on something non-contingent.
No one on this thread has said why the argument is wrong.
