The first two are logically incoherent. Not only this, but we know that time space energy and matter had a finite beginning, which means the cause of the Universe transcends all of those things. I think all of that, not withstanding the eternal first cause being the only coherent option, is evidence that points very powerfully to a transcendent Creator.
Your argument fails at its premise.
How do you know that the universe had a beginning?
Further the statement "time, space, energy and matter had a finite beginning" is self-refuting.
I'll throw out scientific evidence to start. It is the view of modern science that the Universe had a beginning and that time space matter and energy are in fact finite. Why do you believe this is self-refuting?

I don't know anything about math, I simply have heard tell from people who do understand mathematics that it is really about how you define the number limit. In any case, if you do know anything about mathematics, can you demonstrate the inverse? If you can't, your proposition of 1 + 1 = 1.999 has no proof
