hehe, yes, that is the conclusion, but it is question begging because you are using it in your premise.
Everything that begins to exist must have a Cause.
Everything that doesn't begin to exist, doesn't have a Cause.
Can you see a distinction between the statements? I believe both of these are true.
If something didn't begin to exist, it would be eternal, not in need of a cause.
If something began to exist, it would be in need of a cause.
