(Points : 50)
3.(TCO 3) Explain and evaluate Thomas Aquinas' Cosmological Argument for
the existence of God: The first and plainest is the method that proceeds from
the point of view of motion. It is certain and in accord with experience, that
things on earth undergo change. Now, everything that is moved is moved by
something; nothing, indeed, is changed, except it is changed to something
which it is in potentiality. Moreover, anything moves in accordance with
something actually existing; change itself, is nothing else than to bring forth
something from potentiality into actuality. Now, nothing can be brought from
potentiality to actual existence except through something actually existing:
thus heat in action, as fire, makes fire-wood, which is hot in potentiality, to be
hot actually, and through this process, changes itself. The same thing cannot
at the same time be actually and potentially the same thing, but only in
regard to different things. What is actually hot cannot be at the same time
potentially hot, but it is possible for it at the same time to be potentially cold.
It is impossible, then, that anything should be both mover and the thing
moved, in regard to the same thing and in the same way, or that it should
move itself. Everything, therefore, is moved by something else. If, then, that
by which it is moved, is also moved, this must be moved by something still
different, and this, again, by something else. But this process cannot go on to
infinity because there would not be any first mover, nor, because of this fact,
anything else in motion, as the succeeding things would not move except
because of what is moved by the first mover, just as a stick is not moved
except through what is moved from the hand. Therefore it is necessary to go
back to some first mover, which is itself moved by nothing--and this all men
know as God.
Briefly explain and then evaluate this proof for the existence of God.
