An argument against Thomas Aquinas’ fifth way Section One (Introduction): In this paper I will be arguing against Thomas Aquinas’ fifth way‚ a teleological argument supporting the existence of God. Aquinas’ philosophical argument rests primarily on a claim about the explanation for processes‚ their origins‚ and ends. I will try to combat his conclusion that there must be an intelligent being that designed and guides all things to their ends. This will be done through referencing the science of
