Aquinas v Dawkins on God's Existence
In his widely acclaimed book "The God Delusion" Richard Dawkins attempts to refute Aquinas' 5 proofs. Rather than successfully responding to Thomas' arguments, Dawkins unintentionally offers his writing as a prime example of some common misinterpretations of The Five Ways. In this video, I explain exactly how Dawkins misses the points of Aquinas' arguments, and how The Five Ways of Aquinas continue to be a robust philosophical approach to the knowledge of God.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
