I suspect you were hearing about Aquinas' version of the Cosmological argument. It would be correct to say that both Kalam and the Thomist argument are versions of the Cosmological argument.
Both derive ultimately from Aristotle. Aristotle's and Thomas' are pretty much the same, while Kalam is later than Aristotle and explains things very differently. So both are a version of the Cosmological argument, but Thomas is not a version of Kalam.
It's not possible to challenge the idea of essential causation with anything you can see through a telescope.
