Kalam's argument holds that everything with a beginning had a beginner. Since G-d is eternal and unchanging, He has no beginning and does not require a First Cause.

The Kalam Cosmological Argument, which William Lane Craig has made much of. I don't have too much of a comment on that, execpt to note that it's different than the argument from complexity, which is what I and Dawkins were referring to.

The reason I referenced Kalam's argument was in response to the poster who stated: However, if the Designer is at least as complex as a person (and this holds true for all conceptions of a personal God), then the same argument holds, and somebody even bigger must have created God.

But I agree that it is different than the argument about complexity.
