    If our universe requires a being outside it as an origin, why shouldn’t that being itself require another being of even further outside as an origin, and so on?

        TAG addresses infinite regress. A transcendent being functions outside of our physical and metaphysical constraints.

        Scientists believed this for the longest time, but I’ve recently seen a documentary explaining that, at the very bottom, there’s a giant koala bear. Apparently they’re still trying to determine why it’s smiling.

      By nature of being outside of our universe they are not subject to the same constants/restraints or our same concepts of space and time.

      But I’m not necessarily saying it’s a requirement. That’s just the line of thought I lean towards personally at this point.

        TAG addresses this in the way you describe. A transcendent being is not constrained by our physics or metaphysics.
