You can find the rational steps by which you get from the Unmoved Mover/First Cause/Necessary  in my opening statement in the debate area (ChadWooters versus Metis, “Resolved: Using the ‘Five Ways’ found in Article 1, Question 2 of the Summa Theological, Thomas Aquinas successfully demonstrates the existence of God.”)

http://atheistforums.org/thread-34889-po...1007461I'm writing a blog post about the huge, conspicuous leaps that arguments like the five ways use to get to god out of nowhere.
Good luck with that **sarcasm** I'm quite sure all your objections will be straw men based on modern misunderstandings of Classical philosophy. All of the sort Metis, the great and mighty Divinity Student, plagiarized from some dopey blog writer who clearly never actually read Aquinas.
