Aquinas's Fifth Way

[abaris]

He lived in the 13th century. By many historians it's considered the stupidest in human history. The fact that he was rather educated and had some original thoughts back then, doesn't change the fact, that he was a theologian, firmly based in christian belief and had no access to what science teaches us today.

Of course he believed in intelligent design, because first he was a christian clergy man and second, everybody did, since there was no alternative in a time when hardly anyone could even read.
