The two aren't synonyms...and without evidence, "proofs" are just an exercise in grammar and syntax.  

I'm familiar with Aquinas.  I don't find his arguments compelling, not even as an exercise in grammar and syntax.  You could pick one, post it - or your summary.  Maybe what/why you think it's compelling, and I could tell you why I don't.   

We wouldn't agree, but at least we'd understand each other better.  I'd know why you believed, and you'd know why I don't.

But my argument is different from Aquinas'. It is both more extensive and more precise.

That's why in the 3rd paragraph I write, "Here is where he and I part ways."
