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.
No they don't. Neither does the Kalam for that matter. None of them state that all things that exist must be unconditionally caused, therefore god. There's always some condition such as: "potency", "essence and existence not identical", "contingency", "begin to exist".
It's misleading to argue that any of these arguments follow the form you stated above.
