Ed Feser's Aristotelian Proof of the Existence of God

[Neo-Scholastic]

If, in that snapshot of the moment, you remove the table, the coffee still stays 3 ft above. It'll be 2.99999 ft in the next snapshot. The idea here being he wants to consider two independent modes of causality - linear and hierarchical - but doesn't acknowledge their relation.

Yep, that's actually a very good point.

No, its a dumb point. The issue is about what remains consistent about contingent things despite the facts that they change. The physical universe is logically contingent on something prior that preserves its being between states, i.e. the space between 3 and 2.9999. Feser is spot on.
