You took it up with me when you made three assertions. You said I was guilty of "special pleading," "unwarranted reinterpreting," and that I was making a "bogus claim."
If you are serious about these claims, I hope you will make an argument. I don't think you can make a serious argument, because in fact all your claims are false.
I just now looked at the Wikipedia article about Aquinas' Five Ways. What is written there is consistent with what I've read in other sources. If you can demonstrate that something in the Wikipedia article is mistaken, we can look from there. If you can't, then I think you are basing your complaint here on your own faulty interpretation.

I suggest you take your argument over to http://atheistdiscussion.org/forums/show...89&page=16 where this discussion is ongoing.

That discussion is about the Kalam argument, which is entirely different from Aquinas.

Go keep being a pseudo-scientist then. The study says what it says. If you can't deal with it, then it would make more sense to stay away from scientific studies and maybe try your hand at coloring books.
LOL. So now the National Institute of health is "pseudo-science". LOL
I see religion has done a lot for you.
I like your avatar ... every time I look at it, I think "lol, a *tiny one*".

No, you are a pseudo-scientist. That's what I said. Bucky Ball is a Pseudo Scientist, and not the National Institute of Health.
Your very comment demonstrated how you are a pseudo-scientist. You took something I didn't say and tried to assert it as if I did. Just like you cited something from an article and asserted it said something that it clearly didn't. The three variables it was actually discussing were even in the title. How difficult is that?
A picture = Compensation? Oh do tell how you came to that conclusion.

Hey, if our avatar tells the story. I'm "overcompensating" apparently, you're the wolfman, and he's blank. I guess I'll take if if I have to.
