Of the hard cast variety
Something HAS to be eternal. Whatever first cause you chose, no matter how far back you go, something had to exist before hand that is eternal, exist outside of the influence of space- time and be non material in nature. There is simply no getting around that. A spaceless, timeless, non material something.
That leaves either an abstract being or an abstract concept/s.
Abstract concepts (numbers, mathematical formulas,) have no causative power.
That leaves an abstract, timeless, non material, spaceless, being with causative powers known locally as _ _ _.
How is there no getting around that? Your mind is the only thing limiting the possibilities.
How can one thing be eternal when you say nothing else can be eternal? It is simply how you explain to yourself what you cannot understand.
Someone will say their God is eternal but you will argue that their God had to start somewhere and that YOUR God was more eternal plus 1.
Saying something HAS to be eternal and then asserting the God you just so happen to worship is it without anything else is just not enough.
Energy quite possibly is about as eternal as anything gets. No made up deity needed to explain it.
Do you have any idea about how many Gods are credited with being eternal and responsible for creation? Their oral traditions and books are just as much "proof" as the next Gods.
