Kalam

[Jehanne]

Having all your ducks in a row doesn't actaully cause the fall of one of the ducks.

Probably we should give up on the word "cause" because you're still using it in a different sense from Aristotle or Thomas. 

In order for radioactive decay to occur, several αἰτία are essentially prior. 

Among these αἰτία: there has to be something to decay. There has to be a universe in which it can decay. There have to be laws of nature such that radioactive decay is possible. There has to be time and space in which it can decay.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with Kalam. Thomas' "second way" is different, and he explicitly rejects logical proofs for temporal causes of the universe.

Yeah, and Aristotle also believed that women were undeveloped men who just did not "quite make it". Who cares about what Aristotle thought? His importance lie in getting Humanity from a previous point in thought to a later one.
