Circular logic.
Not so. Modern analysis usually misinterprets archaic usage of certain terms of Aquinas' 5 ways.
Which ones
What are the proper archaic usage of each word in each argument and how are they logically any more consistent than the KCA?

Some of the greatest minds who've lived have tried for 2000 years to come up with working arguments unsuccessfully.
The only arguments produced so far rely on presuppositions that aren't supported, i.e. begging the question.
