using it:
1) All things in the universe that began to exist have a cause. 2) The universe began to exist. 3) The universe has a cause.
Stated this way, it is easy to see the illogic. The error you are making is in your restatement of #1 to be simply "everything" rather than "all things in the universe." Because your premise of "everything" having a cause really means "everything in the universe" has a cause. So you are trying to apply an observed property of things IN the universe to the universe itself. Illogical.
And I didn't make that up! Go figure!
