Tom Woods on the Unmoved Mover

[Angelorum]

I just found a new resource to destroy atheists and their arguments.

I don't have the time now to listen, but does he touch on the very crucial (and now so often lost) point that motion here is not local motion but change of any sort?

Yeah, he mentions in the video that without God there can no change of any kind.

The first two ways must be carefully presented lest they fall into the superficial reading that many atheists have properly dispelled.  We must not forget the metaphysical foundation of these proofs, i.e. motion is the actualization of potencies resulting in change and causation is ontological, not temporal.

I do not know any atheists who wear fedoras.

That is NOT a fedora!

Let's recall that this is the Sacred Sciences sub-forum and try to keep things centered around the OP.

Thank you.

I am addressing a point the OP made:

"the fedora-wearing atheists"

I take offense at that bit.

Very good podcast. I sent this to an Aquinas doubter earlier on reddit, hopefully he listens to it. Woods breaks it down nicely.

You're right - it was totally wrong of me to associate fedoras with atheists, thus I have changed my OP.

Don't read the comment box, though. It will irritate you. Tons of anti-religious idiots felt it would be open-minded and intelligent to post their irrelevant reasons for disliking organized religion without at all addressing Dr. Woods' arguments.

Thank you sir.
Excellent pod cast.
