The cosmological argument does not fail because under a Newtonian system because a Newtonian system is concerned with the
nature of things and the explanation of that nature. The cosmological argument, and ontology in general, is concerned with the
being of things. The "first cause" is not
temporally first, it is rather
ontologically first in that all other beings depend upon the first cause's continual existence and continual supply of being to them (actus purus) for their continual existence. Aristotle (and Thomas when talking about philosophy) both saw the universe as eternal.
