Formal Authority and Physico-Theological Proof

A. In lesson 3 on dogmatics, there was an extensive discussion on formal authority and commandment in matters of faith and principles, and without going into the main point of the fascinating discussion, I was a little surprised that it was not mentioned that the Rambam explicitly states that there is a commandment and a punishment for this, and it is clearly stated in the second chapter of the book of commandments, 2-3, and in the book of commandments, 344, and in the roots, at the beginning of the ninth root. And on the conceptual level, the Rambam briefly addressed this at the beginning of the second of eight chapters, and on the surface it seems that the discussion would have been more accurate if there had been a direct reference to the categories that the Rambam wrote in these places, and perhaps this is the plan, and I should be patient, right?
on. Is it correct to say that the foundations for Kant’s physico-theological proof were written and described long before him by the Rabbi of the Church in the first article in Beliefs and Opinions (the ninth argument) and by the Dayan of Cordoba in the Obligations of the Hearts in the sixth chapter of Sha’ar al-Yukhud?
