Even if it were valid, you end up with "something caused the universe". The cause = God bit is normally a bit of unsubstantiated waffle at the end.
If you used that logic in a court case and I said "everything has a cause, therefore my missing car has a cause" the Judge would say "so what". If you then said "well it must be Dave who lives down the road because someone once suggested he was a bit shady" you'd be laughed at.
In order to state that God caused the universe you have to obtain some evidence said God exists. These stupid arguments are trying to bypass this as no-one can find any evidence of God. As I was saying in a different thread, if you're trying to "prove" the existence of something you try and find evidence.
