It's not an issue of speed You aren't moving at all, Igno. Strange, because you had no such trouble in mounting arguments for gods existence.
It's clear that you thought this would just become apparent if you could successfully argue for a god. Well. It hasn't. You're going to need to articulate it at some point, stalling is uninformative. Can I offer you some advice? The philosophy which you're trying to use....it was never meant as an argument for god -or- why anyone should care. You can't get there, from here.
If you want to employ a thomistic framework....well, there -is- an appeal in that framework as to why we should care. Why don't you just use that? Perhaps something from Contra Gentiles? Or Q1 article 8 of Theologica II? Hell, you were espousing it in the morality thread...you know about it.....why is it absent? What;s this full and whole human life bullshit, lol?
