You'll be wrong..but you still have to be more specific.
Already done multiple times. Look at the first premise of the general argument you wrote. Which actual cosmological argument contains that premise in that form?
Specifically, all three of saint tommys cosmological arguments...in order, no less.
The argument from the first mover.
The argument from causation.
The argument from contingency.
That is what those arguments state. We either accept the special pleading premises, and since they're all cosmological arguments...accept fallacies of composition - or we don't. It's not impossible to construct a valid argument for god - poor old tom just couldn't get there. We do a disservice to people who can and did when we trot this nonsense out as though the issue were unsettled.

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
