Compose a 1500 words essay on Aquinas’ fifth way argument: is it valid can we deduce from it that god exists. Needs to be plagiarism free!

sion presents a summation of Aquinas’ Fifth Way argument promoting a grand designer and examines points of view from David Hume, John Hicks, and Douglas Geivett among others regarding the validity of its reasoning regarding the existence of God. As it is imperative to understand the context of Aquinas’ Fifth Way argument, a brief description of the first four ways (all based on the study of natural events) will be presented.

However, “if all things are contingent, there could not have been anything as at one time all these could be non-existent. To
