Neither the Thomist first cause argument nor the Kalam one does more than prove God as a first cause.
To get from there to the God of the Bible or of the Koran requires additional steps.
If you know of anyone claiming that a first cause argument shows, for example, that the Trinity is true or that Jesus is the savior, please post a link or other source.
No, it makes the argument that god could be a first cause. But it contains assumptions, which not all (which includes myself) agree that they are correct.
At best it's a flawed proof.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
