Poor Aquinas!

 Thomas Aquinas makes the superfluity argument that boomerangs on him! He states that no reason exists to add God to explanations, but tries anyway with his five failed ways!
  This blog will examine those five and others.
  His argument accompanies the Flew-Lamberth the presumption of  naturalism and Lamberth's argument from inherency. The former finds that all natural causes and explanations suffice as reasons whilst no evidence exists to add God above them as the ultimate explanation. The latter argues that chaos, order and regularity inhere in the Cosmos. Also, Ockham's Razor notes that as He includes convoluted, ad hoc assumptions, He adds nothing but obfuscation to explanations.
  As gnu atheist, Percy Bysshe Shelley maintains: " To suppose that some existence beyond,or above them [ the descriptions- laws - of  Nature ] is to invent a secondary and superfluous hypothesis  to account for what already is accounted for."
  God did it is always uninformatives, just an obscurantism!
