The cosmological argument really needs to die already.

And have you, perhaps, considered the possibility that there are more answers there than "Every premise of the cosmological argument is correct," and "if you disagree, then every premise is wrong, and you are bound to believe the complete opposite."?

Evaluating the comsological argument by the efficacy of its negation is ridiculous, because we aren't obligated to consider every premise on strict correct/incorrect lines.
