No more or less silly than toms argument, and no more or less valid. That's exactly the point.
If I can provide for a more robust demonstration of the item that I'm going to say ...we all understand to be a god...and you can accept all of my brilliant and undeniable premises, like waving a cat in your face saying "see, a cat!" - and you or joe or anyone can still reject the god conclusion....
...then I can accept toms premises about the existence of a prime mover, even though he can't wave it around like I can with my cat...weaksauce, and reject his god conclusion.
It is silly, it's silly because it's a non seq, and non seqs are not valid arguments. I haven't proven a god by waving around a cat anymore than he's proven a god, any god, any kind of god, by waving around a prime mover.
