The First-Cause argument is invalid. In that argument everything except the creator has a cause. It posits an uncaused effect (creator->universe), instead of just an uncaused effect (universe). Universe + creator introduces an unnecessary complication (the creator) vs simply having an uncaused universe. It doesn't get rid of the causality violation. There's no way to have a beginning without violating causality. You either posit an infinite universe (eg eternal inflation models of the Big Bang) or you accept an uncaused effect. Trading one uncaused effect for another doesn't get you anywhere.
