before I create my side table, it does not exist.Intermediate cause (you); final cause (table.)
This does not explain the "existence" of the uncaused.
The explanation is that intermediate and final causes cannot go on into infinity and still have you and the table exist.

The explanation is that intermediate and final causes cannot go on into infinity and still have you and the table exist Why not? If one can believe in eternity (which is infinity) it seems like the thinker places an arbitrary stop-gap on causation because all of an sudden logic requires it!
