Thomas Aquinas' first way of proving the existence of God:

    { 1 } - is an a priori argument.
    { 2 } - argues from change detectable by the senses to the existence of God.
    { 3 } - argues from an order in efficient causes to the existence of God.
    { 4 } - argues from order in the world to the existence of God.
    { 5 } - argues from the idea of God to the existence of God.

No, it is a posteriori because it argues from effect to cause.
