1) Everything has a cause.
2) There must be an infinite amount of causes.
3) Therefore, their must be an infinite creator - God.
>a cause must be intentional
There was a cause sure, but you're juxtaposing intention into the situation. I can hit a table and knock over a glass by accident. Just because there is a cause does not mean there was intent behind it.
>there must be an infinite amount of causes
And one of them is the god you believe in, the others are the other creation myths, and the other is there is no god. Your argument is just as valid as that of a Muslim, Jew, pagan, Christian or whatever the fuck else.
>therefore there must be a god
That's called jumping to conclusions.

I didn't know Aquinas was this hard for Americans to understand
>>2695689
Aquinas even summarizes each article

> 1) Everything has a cause.
Does it tho? How do you know?
> 2) There must be an infinite amount of causes.
Why can't a thing be the cause of itself?
> 3) Therefore, their must be an infinite creator - God.
Yet, what's the cause of God? He doesn't need one, right? So why can't we just agree the world doesn't need a cause?
>>2695689
This is Aristotle's argument tho.
>>2695689
Never read any Aquinas. Not American.

The world isnt God, stop being intentionally difficult and get baptized already
>1) Everything has a cause.
Proof?
>2) There must be an infinite amount of causes.
Why?
