Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

[Thumpalumpacus]

No, my failure to accept them came from the fact that I didn't just stop at an evaluation of Aquinas' work. I realized that Aquinas was making claims about the real world, claims that fall within science's ability to investigate

Since you fail to provide any examples I will repeat my challenge:

All the conclusions of the Five Ways follow from outdated and obsolete observations of reality and none of them have been contradicted by an observed phenomena except what we have seen from testing quantum mechanics. If you think otherwise I challenge you to name a single phenomenon that definitively rules out the possibility of any of the following: Unmoved Mover, First Cause, Necessary Being, or Guiding Intelligence.

You do not get to pretend that this point wasn't addressed. Attempting to do so in a thread complaining of the intellectual bankruptcy of your interlocutors is ironic at best. If you have to defend your faith with dishonest tactics, perhaps your faith is not worth defending -- or holding, for that matter.
