I see you have lowered your standards. When you presented it you still called it "the best explanation", "evidence" for the existence of God, "scientific evidence" even.
The flaws in the cosmological argument, and particularly in your version of it, have been pointed out in your "apologia" argument time and again. I don´t see any good reason why to start the whole thing again.
1. Yes, the premises are supported by scientific research and observations.
2. "Flaws" as you call them, are more adequately described as questions regarding the first two premises of the KCA. They were addressed by me in the fourty plus pages of material. I shall reference you to them.
3. I do not see any good reason to start the whole thing again either!

Expert Testimony
-Now we see how the astronomical evidence leads to a biblical view of the origin of the world. The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same: the chain of events leading to man commenced suddenly and sharply at a definite moment in time, in a flash of light and energy. -Agnostic Astronomer and author Dr. Robert Jastrow
-The beginning seems to present insuperable difficulties unless we agree to look on it as frankly supernatural. - Arthur Eddington, British Astrophysicist and philosopher of science
-Religion and science are opposed...but only in the same sense as that in which my thumb and forefinger are opposed - and between the two, one can grasp anything. -Physicist Sir William Bragg
-"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." -Albert Einstein
-Science only provides a car and chauffeur for us. It does not tell us where to drive. The car and the chauffeur will take us into the highlands or into the ditch with equal efficiency. -Dr. George Lundberg, professor of sociology at the University of Washington
-The scientific method can teach us nothing beyond how facts are related to and conditioned by each other...knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be. One can have the clearest and most complete knowledge of what is, and yet not be able to deduce from that what should be the goal of our human aspirations. -Albert Einstein
-The conclusion of this lecture is that the universe has not existed forever. Rather, the universe, and time itself, had a beginning in the Big Bang, about 15 billion years ago. The beginning of real time, would have been a singularity, at which the laws of physics would have broken down. -Stephen Hawking, British Theoretical Physicist and author
-Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover
That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact. -Agnostic Astronomer and author Dr. Robert Jastrow
-The scientists pursuit of the past ends in the moment of creation. This is an exceedingly strange development, unexpected by all but the theologians. They have always accepted the word of the Bible: In the beginning God created the heaven and earth. Agnostic Astronomer and author Dr. Robert Jastrow
-A proponent of the Big Bang Theory, at least if he is an atheist, must believe that the universe came from nothing and by nothing. - Anthony Kenny, British author and atheist
