Thomas Aquinas' proof of the existence of God

 Thomas Aquinas' proof of the existence of God

Lecture on the History of Philosophy in the Middle Ages by DaeChilyus Aquinas believed that there are five reasons to believe in the existence of God: 1.Everything in the world moves, so something must have started the movement. That starter is God. 2. Everything in the world has a cause, so there must be a first cause. That first cause is God. 3. Everything in the world depends on something else, so there must be something that doesn't depend on anything else. That something is God. 4. Everything in the world has different degrees of goodness, so there must be something that is the most good. That most good thing is God. 5. Everything in the world has a purpose, so there must be a purposeful creator. That creator is God. Taken together, Aquinas believed that these arguments show that God exists and created the world.
