An neutron that undergoes motion in this manner does so without any cause, and before the decay it is also not in motion.
b) Unjustified assertion
c) I am very familiar. A rock is unchanging unless something happens to it.
d) Special pleading; the notion of 'creating matter' is not necessarily different from any other action.
e) Not the case at all, go look up induction and get back to me.
f) That's because we're made of real matter, it doesn't mean that matter is required.
g) Go learn some topology and get back to me.
h) Go learn some relativity and get back to me. As a second point, you line of argument also fails beyond your lack of knowledge of relativity; since mass is not a human-created concept whereas 'perfection' is.
i) it does too
j) yet it is, the assertion is that everything which is measure on a sliding scale implies a peak to that sliding scale. This is false.
k) As mentioned many times already, whether something is 'good' or 'bad' is irrelevant to the argument originally stated in k)
l&m) Good luck finding ANY scientific papers talking about the 'purpose of a star'. How exactly do you propose an experiment to find out if something has 'purpose' or not?
The speculation is almost all yours. Well, Aquinas'
a) This is of course, a demonstration of complete ignorance of atomic decay. The neutron decays because it's energetically unstable in the free state, and since it can only exist for a few minutes outside a nucleus, it necessarily must have undergone motion making it free.
b) Well get back to me when it does happen.
c) Things will always be happening to it.
d) If one is holding matter in existence, then one can take it out of existence and replace, or do anything else with it.
e) I have no idea why you think induction refutes anything I said.
f) Well get back to me when there's any evidence that virtual matter can exist on its own.
g) I take from this that you don't understand math.
h) I take it from this that you don't understand physics either (I'd already figured that out to be honest). Relativity means only that time, length, and mass (and the properties which are derivative from these) are variant depending on the velocity one is moving at relative to the object. It in no way makes any of those subjective to individuals. And humans actually haven't invented anything perfect, much less perfection itself.
i) Lack of argument noted.
j) Here's a problem you atheists don't seem to get. While you might care about some version of a theistic argument that you created. No one else cares about things you've made up to attack.
k) See j).
l and m) I don't need to do expire meets about things are evident. For instance, that I possess a computer, that you don't understand philosophy, and so forth.
