Creationism

No one claims that a first cause argument gets you to the God of the Bible.

And I'm the Queen of Sheba. You should be embarrassed for telling such a blatant lie.

Flawed because he inserted god into the argument where a god was not needed for the premise to be understood. He inserted god because he had an agenda to attempt to justify the existence of god to the non religious.

Or are you saying that Thomas did not insert god as the contingent/cause?

Using the word "insert" isn't fair here. Aquinas' arguments lead to the conclusion that the ground of existence exists, and he believed that is equivalent to the God that he believed in. But he didn't shoehorn God in, it's concluded, not asserted.

It was concluded based on no evidence, therefore it was aserted. There were plenty of people in Aquinas' day who pinged him for that.
