I think the person who is engaged in hand-waving is the person who says, "The past can't be infinite. THAT'S INCONCEIVABLE. It must be an eternal, necessary, non-temporal Something which acts in time."

Who said the past cannot be eternal? The first cause argument doesn't have anything to do with whether the universe always existed or not. That just shows that you don't understand the argument.
