Something that can strengthen the cosmological argument?

Something that can strengthen the cosmological argument?
This would not be a definitive proof, but what if someone reasoned, given the nature of all moments of time is to preceded by a moment of time, an exception to the rule, which is necessary if time is finite, would imply something outside the natural state of the universe is more likely to have caused it, then for it to stop at time zero with no reason at all?

Also, "why now now" is usually answered because of time before it, but at time zero, there is a "now now" which is just mysteriously there with no precedence. Now something outside time seems more likely, then simply, "well there is no north to north pole" reasoning.

Thoughts?
