...or am I oversimplifying?
A First event must have existed
Events cannot happen by itself
A Starter for events must exist
The Starter must be self sufficient
The Starter is outside the Universe/creation
The Starter is Unique
The Starter is not similar to anything we know (or imagine)
These are the conclusions, and the premises is just the disjoint theory.
