St. Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways

First Way; The Argument from Motion
This argument clearly sates that :
1.) Nothing can move itself.
2.) If every object in motion had a mover, then the first object in motion needed a mover.
3.) This first mover is the Unmoved Mover, called God.
- I agree with the satement made on how everything that is moved has to be moved by something else. Even if something is put on a hill and it rolls down by itself what created that object in the first place. It's like a series of events that once again are all based on the conclusion that something caused their movement. However, I completely disagree with the satement made on how the unmoved mover is God. Dont get me wrong, I believe in God but this satement is not based on facts. We have not yet sufficient evidence that God was the one who created the world so its a huge mistake on behalf of Aquinas to say that this unmoved force is God. Even though it could be God, then what controls God himself? Is he one man or is their a higher being that controls what he does?
Second Way: Causation if Existence
1.) There exist things that are caused (created by other things.)
2.) Nothing can be the cause of itself (nothing can create itself.)
3.) There cannot be an endless string of objects causing other objects to exist.
4.) Therefore, there must be an uncaused first cause called God.
- Once again i have to agree with Aquinas that everything was created by something else. Whether it was by God, man, creature, or natural forces, everything has been bought to life by some other force. Besides its really difficult to believe that objects just create one another on their own without any other things having no part in it at all.
Third Way: Contingent and necessary objects
1.) Contingent beings are caused.
2.) Not every being can be contingent.
3.) There must exist a being which is necessary to cause contingent beings.
4.) This necessary being is God.
-I disagree with the statement that not every being can be contingent because it contradicts itself to other statements made earlier. Every being could have not existed without a necessary being causing its existence. However, i do find myself very intrigued by the idea that God is the necessary being because no one has found any other logical explanation for how we as humans evolved and came about.
Fourth Way: The Argument from Degrees and Perfection
1.) For any given quality there must be a perfect standard by which all such qualities are measured.
2.) These perfections are contained in God.
-Nothing im my opinion is perfect, not even God himself, he too had some flaws. So its kina noodles to say that there is such a thing as perfection and that it can be seen in God. Wr have learned of God's very sneaky ways in Unit 2 of core when talking about the creation of Adam and Eve and the stroy of the Cyclops. Yes, there are things which seem more appeling than others and are so intriquite that they are believed or seen as perfect but in my eyes perfection is nothing more but a false word.
Fifth way: The Argument from Itelligent Design
1.) All physical laws and the order of nature and life were designed and ordered by God, the intelligent designer.
-Since i clearly don't believe that God is the creator of the world, I dont believe that he is the intelligent designer either. Things on earth function in certain ways and have to function in these ways because thats how they can survive or go about in life. I don't think that any person, especially God has the power to state how each living thing would work out and how it had to adapt. I just think that as earth stands still so should the idea that the order of nature and other physical laws already existed before any man was created and naturally came about on their own.
