Yes, the prime mover argument basically just complicates the problem rather than solving it, to suit the authors theological views.
An eternal mover has internal infinite regress, and where'd it come from? It changes a bunch of plain causes and effects where their infinity is the only problem, to a magical unimaginably fantastic cause that is impossible to explain, which still has an unsolvable infinite regress.
So now you have infinite regress to explain AND the prime mover.

The regress is "down" in the present, not back into the past. The prime mover is postulated to be operating in the present. The reason the regress must terminate is because each member of the causal series is instrumental, yet moving, so there must be something driving the whole chain.
The same reason you would reason that a clock cannot contain an infinite number of gears, because then there would be no motor and hence the clock wouldn't work at all.
BRAVOOOOO ...!!!!! AMEN...
