Introduction to St. Thomas Aquinas


From the objection to his question, it is proven that it cannot be demonstrated that God exists. Opposing that argument the apostle says the things that aren't being seen are visible and comprehended by the things that which are made. Aquinas answered that by saying Demonstration can be made in two ways. These ways are by cause which is known as propter quid and effect which is demonstration quia. Every effect is dependable on its cause. From the effect we better understand the cause, and the previous cause could be demonstrated. .
             The last and final article Aquinas used to help answer his question was whether or not God exists. The first objection to Aquinas was that God exists because of the definition of God. Nothing can be made without someone doing it. Therefore, God exists. Everything exists because God exists, and God exists because he is the highest word. An example of that is like saying something is hotter than hot, and everything that is perfect is God. Everything has a purpose, like the arrow and the archer. It is guided by a being that possesses knowledge and intelligence. Aquinas discussed God in many different ways like his perfection, his knowledge and how he is infinite. Such discussions also led to questions about God's nature, Demons, and the creation of the world. Therefore, God exists because of this knowledge.
             Aquinas gave five ways to prove his existence of God. Aquinas is wrong for giving five different proof to God existence, because God cannot be demonstrated in five ways. However, we can demonstrated God existence in seven ways, because he created the world in seven days. The world didn't create in five days, it took God seven to build everything in the world include humanity. Therefore, I disagree with Aquinas because five ways of proofing his existence cannot be truth. His first way of proving God's existence is based on things on the objects in the world. He believed that everything was made by God therefore God is demonstrated.
