slide1. Cosmological argument By Aristotle adapted by Thomas Aquinas.<br>
slide2. Motion Everything is in motion
Something must have started this motion
Unlike Aristotle Aquinas rejects infinite regression (everything goes back an infinite number of times)
Something must have started this- God
The first mover the un moved mover<br>
slide3. Cause Everything is been caused
If we go back far enough then something must have caused everything
An un caused causer
God<br>
slide4. Contingency and Necessity Everything in the world is contingent
Has a beginning, middle and end
For everything to be contingent there must be a necessary being
Doesn't’t have a beginning middle and end just is
This being is God<br>
slide5. Flaws This argument doesn’t give God a personality
God could be anything as particle in space or a divine being
NO REASONING TO WORSHIP GOD
If God is a necessary means we cannot begin to comprehend God, so why try.<br>
