St. Thomas Aquainas' Argument

Advantages

  • You are forced by your own REASON to the conclusion that 'The Universe' was caused to exist by something existing before it.
  • Something cannot come out of nothing- cause of the big bang- cause of the cause of the big bang...etc...
  • All of these causes must have a beginning- First cause, God, uncaused by anything existing before it.

Disadvantages

  • Can just be an endless chain reaction of causes- have no beginning at all.

Evaluation

The people that evaluate St Thomas' argument would come to the conclusion that his evidence is AMBIGUOUS as you can look at it and come to the conclusion that God exists or that he doesn't exist from the same theory.
