The cosmological argument only makes the case for an uncaused cause. The jump from that to a Christian God is made entirely of pre-existing religious faith.
God doesn't need a cause – he has always been, as the Bible says he is eternal.
Asking 'What caused God?' is not a valid critique – God is beyond the constraints which we understand in the natural world, so it is reasonable to consider him uncaused. 
The cosmological argument fits with what the Bible teaches, so it confirmed my already existing faith that God created the world.
The cosmological argument shows God to be powerful, creative and eternal in nature. He is above our understanding.
The Big Bang theory shows that the world had one singular beginning – there is no need to bring God into that.
If God caused the world – then what caused God?
The cosmological argument is supported by science – the Big Bang theory shows that the universe has one distinct beginning point.
Aquinas' theory has lots of holes in it – it's not a solid proof of anything, but I can see how it might give reasonable basis for an already held faith.
Why is infinite regression considered impossible? I don't see any reason why that should be the case.
