Really, now. Philosophers haven't been sitting around twiddling their thumbs since the death of Aquinas - Hume and Kant quite thoroughly and convincingly demonstrated the gross inadequacies and the total failure of the Prime Mover argument, and did it a century and a half ago, no less.

Such a dialogue is rarely as satisfying as reading the originals and coming to your own understanding. Why don't I simply suggest that you read Hume's "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion", particularly part IX, and Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason"?
