Perhaps "fait accompli" is an acceptable synonym?
It is a term from basketball. A slam dunk is when the
player slams the ball into the basket from above the rim.
It means that there is no chance that the ball will miss
(but of course it does on occasion).
So essentially he is saying that if the universe is not
eternal, then there is no way to get around the
cosmological argument.
"Its a done deal"
"Game over"
etc.
