1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
Unsupported assertion.
Also, lots of stuff at the quantum level seems not to have a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
Unsupported assertion, mis-representation of the big bang (which is not shown, or thought to be the actual beginning of things) and conflation of the terms "universe" and "cosmos".
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause.
Does not follow.
