Is infinite regress impossible? And why so?

Hi everyone,

When you are engage in some form of cosmological argument, there is always this question of infinite regress (and then theists bring up First Cause and claim it is their favorite god(s)).

Is the problem logical or/and philosophical?

The cosmological model of the Universe just says it is the result of the inflation of what we name as a singularity, nothing more.I think in this case, the whole point of the argument is moot.

P.S: enjoy the World Football cup!
