The Existence of God: A cosmological Argument -by Yojasi Lomas
The existence of God can be proven by rational argument according to Saint Thomas Aquinas. ... Aquinas argues the existence of God in three very effective arguments: from motion, from efficient cause, from contingency and necessity.
Aquinas’ first argument is from motion or change. ... Aquinas then concludes that there must be an “unmoved-mover” and we give it the name of ‘God’. Aquinas offers a cosmological aposteriori argument to demonstrate God’s existence. ... Aquinas’ answer to that question would be, God came first. ... The only logical explanation to Aquinas would be that an “unmoved-mover”, God, initiated the cycle because he is outside of the cycle itself.
Secondly, Aquinas argues that there is a God from efficient cause. ... Furthermore, we know, from the previous argument, that there cannot be an infinite regress of “caused causes”. ... We call it God. ... Aquinas believed that ultimately there must have been an “uncaused first cause” who began the chain of existence for all things. We call it God. ... The existence of planet Earth 4. ... The existence of our solar system 4. ... God caused it, and that’s where it ends.
