Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion
RE: Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

Therefore, if even one person sees and understands the PNC, then people have the capacity to know fundamental truths. Furthermore, the truth of which they know is something fundamentally true not only about particular beings, but about all of reality as well. Aristotle’s demonstration of the PNC also shows that at least one argument can be known by a priori reflection. Therefore, Esquilax is wrong, at least one argument IS evidence: the PNC.

Chad, you're quoting fascinating persons, but isn't it obvious to you that these persons only could know what their time knew? The time when they lived is very important to this kind of discussion, since even the brightest minds didn't doubt the existence of the supernatural in Aristotles and Aquinas days. There were things they couldn't explain by other means. Things, we take for granted, since the last centuries found natural explanations.
