Bonaventure says:

"His existence is so evident in itself and certain for the knower, that if he would rightly consider it, there is no way for its truth to be removed. For it is a truth most evident and most present, which is absent from no place, no time, no thought, which is not the case with other created truths."

I don't think that really addresses Aquinas' concern, however. The whole point, for Aquinas, is that God's existence is self-evident in itself, but the proposition is not self-evident to us.

I don't really see where the debate goes from here. It seems like a fundamental disagreement in epistemological theory.
