People are quick to claim that. But the cosmological argument builds up an argument for God being the first cause. It does not depart from the fact that we don't know (which would be a god of the gaps argument). the GothG argument is mostly aimed against the teleological argument, and it's a counterargument, not a logical fallacy.
