St. Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways

-In the 2nd way of St. Thomas Aquinas' 5 Ways he states that nothing can be cause of itself or nothing ccan create itself. But in the stages of meosis the cells reproduce itself.

-In the 2nd way it states that there cannot be an endless string of objects causing other objects to exist.If you really think about it their has to be a string of reasons to make something happen. For example, say you get into a fight with a kid, it started off with you meeting them and then making some kind of relationship with them.

-In the 3rd way it says that not every being can be contingent. Every contingent being was created some how so to say that not every being is contingent is completely contradicting this idea.
