Even if everything you just said had been valid, 'therefore, God' would still be a non sequitur.

why ?

...

Cosmological arguments, assuming that their premisses aren't incorrect, can at most show that the universe had a cause. They haven't proven the cause to be an intelligent personal all-powerful God (Craig though tries to do this in his KCA but contradicts his own notion of time in the process). Theists resort to other arguments such as the design argument, fine-tuning arguments, moral arguments, etc., to establish the nature of the cause but those are much weaker arguments.

My ignore list
