So, what was the first cause? God?
What caused God? God is eternal/timeless?
How do you know? How do you know the universe isn't timeless?
In order for your first cause argument to work, you need to make three assumptions:
1) God exists, despite being nonfalsifiable.
2) God has the ability to create universes.
3) God is timeless/eternal.
If I don't grant you those three assumptions, then you haven't proven God. Let me show you another way:
We'll assume there is a special particle called fleems. Fleems are undetectable, they can create universes, and they're eternal. Therefore, given that everything that exists has a cause and the universe exists, I have successfully proven fleems. Why don't you believe in fleems, Spidey?
All you're proposing is another word for God here.
