2. The universe began to exist
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause
Problem?
1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause - This attribute of causality is only known to be true in the current state of our universe
2. The universe began to exist - This can't be inferred as we can only describe the current state of our universe, not any pre-expansion states
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause - This can't follow as 2. can't be applied to 1.
