What makes you think that a law that operates within the universe applies to the universe?
To assume that the whole must share the characteristics of its constituent parts is a fallacy, but I can't remember the name of. I don't think it's quite the same as "Hasty Generalization".
This is also the fatal weakness of the Argument of Contingency: just because everything
in the universe has a cause (which may not even be true) it doesn't follow that the universe as a whole must have a cause.
