Evidence of God Existence

EVIDENCE OF GOD EXISTENCE Throughout his life, Aquinas wrote an incredibl ? A number of philosophical texts that explore a wide range of topics, from natural philosophy and the works of Aristotle to theology and the Bible. His most famous and extensive work, Summa Theolo giae, provides as detailed a philosophical view as Aquinas. Aquinas began theology approximately after 1265 and wrote it until his death in 1274. Summa Theologiae is divided into three parts, each of which includes its own subsections. Part 1, which writes Aquinas' most famous philosophical text, the Five Ways, is found. In this case, Thomas Aquinas intended to prove the existence of God. Aquinas began by acknowledging that although philosophy was not a requirement for advancing the knowledge of God, it could help theology he then tried to answer the following questions: 1. Is "God exists" clear? 2. Can this be shown ? 3. Does God exist? Aquinas then gave five pieces of evidence that showed the existence of God. In five ways, Thomas Aquinas combined theological ideas with the mind and observation of nature, to prove the existence of God. Evidence 1: arguments from immovable movers We can see that there are things in this world that are moving, whatever is moving, being moved by something else that is moving. The object moves because it moves in motion b, aothcr, objects that are in the motior, and so on. However, this cannot continue to happen upside down because there will never be an initial mover (and thus, there will never be a subsequent move). So there must be an untouchable mover first, and that is understood as god Evidence 2: the first-cause argument Everything is caused by something, and nothing can be caused by itself. Each cause is the result of the previous cause, and the previous cause is the result of the other previous cause. It cannot continue backwards because if there is no initial cause, then there is no subsequent cause. So there must be a first cause that does not cause, w billion ich is understood as Allah. Evidence 3: arguments from contingencies We observe in nature that things come into existence and then cantons come into existence. However, everything that exists is necessary to indicate something that exists, and if possible to: something that does not exist. Then there would not have been before, and there would not be now. So there are only creatures whose existence does not depend on the existence of othcrs. And this is understood as god. Evidence 4: the argument of the degree We observe that beings have different levels of characteristics that are better, less good, nobler, less noble, etc.) This varying degree is compared to the maximum (the noblest, the best, and the most intelligent), and acco:ding, Aristotle, the greatest level of existence is when there is the greatest state of truth (he maximum). So there must be a reason for the perfection that we find in living beings, and this perfection or maximity is understood as god Evidence 5: teleport argument We observe inanimate and unintelligent objects in nature that have a specific purpose, even if they do not: we are responsive to this fact (such as the food chain or the processes of the sensory organs). Even though they didn't realize it. These objects clearly act according to a specific plan, and therefore, there must be beings who guide those who have knowledge to direct them to their goals. It is understood as god
