Does the First Law of Thermodynamics (the Law of Conservation of Energy) assume an infinite universe where matter and energy lasted forever and eternal? And does this refute the first premise of the Kalam Cosmological argument that whatever begins to exist has a cause? Dr. William Lane Craig says no. Unfortunately it looks like many impressionable and sophomoric atheists have been dealing with pop science when it comes to the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Dr. William Lane Craig writes more on the First Law of Thermodynamics in his Q&A article here: http://www.reasonablefaith.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=6515
