A god may be intuited, but a god is not argued for. It's simply tacked on as a non seq, in the conclusion. For the argument to be valid, the god conclusion would need to follow from the premises of the argument, not the predisposition of his intuition.
Is this what I was asked to explain, or is it not?
Wouldn't get too carried away stating that it logically leads to the conclusion of a prime mover, either - we're only discussing the first of many issues with the argument. There's still a concern over composition, even after we remove the god conclusion to correct the argument for the most basic validity. Then there are concerns over the soundness of a number of the premises. I can stand back and let you or our other noted tommy scholar explain those for the peanut gallery.
Or can I? Are you both going to continue to run with the insistence that people reject the argument for atheism reasons™?
