The first cause argument is only there to established an uncaused cause.
However - ONCE we say that there was SOMETHING that was UNCAUSED -
- THE statement that everything has a cause is now void.
So - NO - everything does NOT have to have a beginning - some things - and even possibly MANY things may have ALWAYS existed.
And in that case - no god is needed to start a "beginning"
