It's a logical conclusion. If the cause of our universe (whatever it is) is independent of the laws of our universe, and our universe contains laws in it, then it is not necessary for the cause to be tied to the laws of our universe. There are two major reasons for this: a) the cause is independent of our laws (which must be the case since they came about due to the cause's creative acts and so therefore had a beginning and therefore likely did not exist prior to their beginning alongside their Cause), and b) while we don't know the laws of existence prior to the universe's creation (if there were even any), we don't know if the cause-and-effect laws are the same as they are now prior to the creation of our universe. This means that not only is there a first cause, but we can also attribute to it/him an eternal existence without violating any laws of reason or logic.

Indeed, some of the prevailing theories of the universe's origins argue for the existence of eternal phenomena (something you yourself almost alluded to in a previous post).

So we're back at the basics for you: You've yet to admit that the universe had a beginning, and you've yet to come to the conclusion that the cause of the universe need not follow the laws of our universe.

Maybe this subject is too much for you, I don't know.
