Aquinas wrote of the The Unmoved Mover, The Uncaused Cause and the Cosmological Argument (some non physical thing caused physocal things to exist) within his five "proofs."

As Dawkins says "all three of these arguments rely upon the idea of a regress and invoke God to terminate it. They make the entirely unwarranted assumption that God himself is immune to the regress."
That you would even bring Dawkins and Aquinas into the same discussion is amazing! Dawkins has no, repeat no, credibility in the realm of philosophy. As a biologist I have no qualms, as a philosopher he is inane.

I'm sure you could find someone qualified to make your point. It really shouldn't be that hard.
