Everything that exist is in motion


2.Everything in motion needs a cause to be in motion
3.Something must have existed without a cause
4.We call this the umoved mover
5.therefore god exists

So let's say all of these premises are true (even they are not) this would only
prove that there was an unmoved mover and nothing else,it would be fallacious to
say this unmoved mover cares about us or anything like that,all it shows is that
some cause everything to be moving and that is it.

Premise 3 is making a special pleading fallacy by saying something must have


existed without a cause,what premise 3 is doing is that it's making an exception to
a rule without much justification.i.e It's saying that everything has a cause
except for the universe without much justification.
