You want to get out of it by claiming all things have cause except the universe, which is non caused. ex nihilo, el poppo bruno. Or using the infinity crutch. The trouble with that is science can show time is slowing down. As Einstein showed there cannot be an infinity of matter, and that stars have a finite lifetime, unless you want to change matter and time too. Better theory? Does it predict anything? Infinite matter cannot exist, because as Einstein showed it would have infinite gravity and infinite light. We would burn up and crush in an instant. It cancels out in other words. Infinite time would dictate infinite amounts of matter, and infinite light, for any matter to exist today at all. This is absolutely inescapably true as far as physical reality is understood today. The universe has a size and aburn out time. It cannot be infinite or it would have to have a rebirth mechanism from primordial ultra compressed dark matter, every 50 billion years or so. This infinite regression poses some important problems. Rebirth is causative. It could be physically show what causes it.

If the universe was non caused, then all its processes are running on auto with no cause as well. Introducing non starting non caused processes, allows for a level of spontaneity into the universe that is so far unobserved.
