Can anyone provide an argument for a necessary being?

[Metalogos]

The latter could not accept that all things have been in motion from eternity and so cognized an agent for the initial action, i.e., the Prime Mover.

I have an issue with the way you use cognize here. Cognize essentially means 'to know'. It does not mean hypothesize, speculate, imagine, or 'make shit up' as you seem to be using it.

Sorry, Cato. I meant to use the word to mean conceive which is a synonym of this verb but you are probably right in checking my word usage here. Thank you.

This is medieval thinking, my friend. I prefer the open and unconstrained pursuit of knowledge of ancient Grecian times or our own age that is finally once again free from oppressive dogmatism and stifling conservatism. We can say here and now whatever pleases our minds and have no fear of being tortured or censured for our thoughts. Let us follow them wherever they may lead, turning here and there as necessary to follow always after that elusive and beautiful creature, Truth.

And that I'm afraid makes you a poseur. Enough grandstanding. You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Dear W,
You may not like my way of expressing myself nor agree with my position but you need not attack me for that. Let's keep our discussion civil and kind. Thank you.
