The person who wrote that proof also says, "Ergo, the possibility exists for the existence of what we call God, even if only in a distant, impersonal sense."
Craig argued in his debate with Edwin Curley that the prime mover must be personal.
See paragraph #9 here.
"Moreover, I would argue, it must also be personal. For how else could a timeless cause give rise to a temporal effect like the universe? If the cause were an impersonal set of sufficient conditions, then the cause could never exist without the effect. If the sufficient conditions were timelessly present, then the effect would be timelessly present as well. The only way for the cause to be timeless but for the effect to begin in time is if the cause is a personal agent who freely chooses to create an effect in time without any prior determining conditions. And, thus, we are brought, not merely to the transcendent cause of the universe, but to its personal Creator."
