The OP directs all its effort toward kalam-type 1st cause arguments. These deal with accidentally ordered sequences arranged in time. Objections to kalam-type have some merit, but I'm not feeling generous. On the other hand 1st cause arguments that focus on essentially ordered series, such as Aquinas's Second Way, remain unaffected by critiques like the one in the OP. No one ever argues against Aquinas because they know they can't.

....and from that to your particular version of Yhwh you arrived by....? ._.
