An uncaused event must have an infinite origin.

There is, nevertheless, at least one instance of an event or entity that has no cause or precedent.

With that in mind, your assurance that quantum events have causes is vacuous. We know from the existence of existence that not everything has a cause or precedent. The lack of causation for quantum events is consistent with pure logic.

What has to be rethought is the concept of causation. That is obviously faulty.

Eternity has no need of a cause, only things that happen in real time.

You are assuming your conclusion since the existence of existence is a quantum event and you know nothing about its cause.

No  s  kidding.
