And what he said about Aquinas was strange.
Again, I don't find the 5 ways persuasive as they stand either. But we have a duty to describe them accurately.
As far as I can tell, Flat is referring to the 4th way when he mentions fire being hot. It's not an ontological argument really, but about degrees of quality.
Since what Flat says about Aquinas is unclear and part of a long post full of different problems, I don't have the energy to deal with it.
