No, Mystic, it isn't becoming potent again because it falls on it's face in entirely the same place for entirely the same reasons. It is perceived to be becoming potent again because people are selling it again, to folks like yourself.
Why does anything need to be eternal? Who needs this? What needs this?
As I said, if you believe existence can pop out of non-existence, then this argument fails. I said it makes use of the intuition, "from nothing, nothing follows".
Every argument for God makes some use of intuition related to God except for the teleological argument (which doesn't prove God, but just a Designer).
In this case, it's intuitive that God couldn't pop out of nothing to existence, but must be eternal. We know this about God, and the Kalam argument is making use of this intuition about God.
