There is also the mathematical concept of not having a first element of a sequence, where each element has an infinite number of elements indexed before it.

You seem to be arguing that the existence of a mathematical concept implies that the universe must follow it. In this case, you have one concept that implies a first element and another that implies no first element. They can’t both be true.

No, he’s implying that an infinite series doesn’t have to be infinite in both directions to be infinite.

That argues that there might be a first.

To be clear, I’m not saying there isn’t a first. I’m just saying this particular argument doesn’t support the assertion.
