Aquinas' 5 arguments for the existence of God

Question 1

What are the 5 arguments?

Answer 1

Argument from Motion
Argument from Causation
Argument from Contingency
Argument from Degrees
Teleological Argument

Question 2

What is the Argument from motion?

Answer 2

It’s the argument about thinking moving is caused by movers. Everything that’s moving has been set into motion by someone else e.g. God.

Question 3

What is the Argument from Causation?

Answer 3

It is how things are caused by something. Anything that’s caused has to be caused by something else.
The first cause is God.

Question 4

What is the Argument from Contingency?

Answer 4

Meaning that any being that could not have existed but God is NOT contingent.

Question 5

What is the Argument from Degrees?

Answer 5

In order for there to be degrees of perfection, there must be something perfect against which everything else is measured. God is the pinnacle of perfection.

Question 6

What are some flaws in these arguments?

Answer 6

They don’t seem to establish any type of God.
They are self-defeating.
Aquinas was wrong in his insistence that there can’t be an infinite regress of anything.
