my philo prelims on AQUINAS.
nothing juz wanna share what i had in mind during our prelims in philosophy of religion.
the question is stated this way. discuss briefly AQUINAS' argument on motion and give your refutes.
well, the following are aquinas' arguments on motion
1. it is visible in the world that there is motion.
2. there is a series of mover in the world.
3. but there is no motion that started it self.
4. there is someone who started the motion.
5. the one that started the motion is called the "unmoved mover"
6. therefore God exists. yeah, aquinas' argument is very reasonable, infact, it is scientifically observable and accepted.
however, the last number is quite ambiguous to me. aquinas has no further explanation why he immediately co-relate it with the existence of a GOD. i wonder how he concluded that the unmoved mover is God. i am not an atheist, definitely! but im just quite skeptical with aquinas' representation and conclusion that God, really, was the unmoved mover without any further explanation and proof that God was indeed the one. but another part of me tried to intervere and reacted. if it wasn't God, then who would it be? can you think of any entity out there? well, probably, it was God.
