Re: confusing "heliocentric model with "earth is round".........
It's not really on topic but it's widely known that there is no successful proof of God. That's why people keep looking for new arguments. If Aquinas had settled it, then later writers wouldn't have bothered. All of the "proofs" are flawed.

Re: confusing "heliocentric model with "earth is round".........
Nobody ? Televangelists ? No, I'm talking about people with far more credibility than that - Richard Swinburne and Alvin Plantinga spring to mind as relatively modern examples. But we could name several others who lived after Aquinas - such as Descartes, for instance

Your terms of "success" and I'm presuming failure do not apply and are inherently subjective, unscholarly and irrelevant.
And how would you know that ? Please don't insult me just because you don't like what I'm saying.
