But surely these examples are mere tautologies, aren't they?If it never happened then no one had to be first. I had to sort of go around the question though.
How about these: you cannot reverse an irreversible process, and no means no.
Not sure what you mean by a nay saying, but a self-disproving example could be that famous old chestnut: "All Cretans are liars," said the Cretan.I do believe ....

We can certainly deny that the same person had to be every "first" that you attribute to God.mmmmm.......more like.....
Someone had to be First .....as a statement that cannot be denied

So, YOU believe that there are self-proving statements? So What? Why should anyone care or challenge you on your belief?I do believe ....

No. Everything revolves in a circle.
nothing but denial in the form of questionsWhy do you believe someone had to be first?
Why couldn't there have been several someones who were first simultaneously?
Why can't there be no one? What if the "first" was so amorphous and abstract it couldn't rightly be called a "someone" with any meaningful identity?
What if time is cyclical rather than linear, meaning there is no first or last of anything?
What if time doesn't really exist at all, or was not relevant?
And more importantly - assuming there was a first, why would being first matter? Why does numerical order matter at all?
