All human beings develop at different rates, both physically and mentally. Additionally, some special individuals gain the ability to flourish and thus gain a deeper understanding of life. This is usually the result of deep religious beliefs. Throughout history, scientific reasoning has brought humanity to a higher realm of knowledge. Saint Thomas was born in 1225 and came from a noble family in Naples, Italy. His work caused considerable controversy in his time. He is known for his greatest work Summa Theologiae. Saint Thomas Aquinas used scientific reasoning and logic to explain the concept of God. Thomas Aquinas framed this discussion as the question of whether God exists or not. Saint Thomas Aquinas theorized that five different arguments could be used to prove the existence of God. Saint Thomas Aquinas' first argument is called Motion and he created the first argument to explain that God must be the cause of all movement in the universe. He also believes that matter and essence are related to physical objects. Every movement and change in the world accepts that there is a prior cause and a driving force that produces that movement. People's senses prove that objects and people are in motion. Things that move are the result of potential movement, which then becomes actual movement. People become aware that certain things around them are constantly changing or moving, such as human bodies and the universe. The world is in constant motion and the people who move it would call it God. “Everything that is displaced is displaced by something else. Potentiality is only moved by reality” (Archie). There is a great example of this: “A true oak tree is what produces potential...... middle of paper...... or an end; the nitrogen cycle and the Krebs cycles are some examples of Design's argument (Archie). People can look at how the world was created and know that the cause of design was God. Although some people may have thought that Saint Thomas Aquinas was a bit strange. Regardless, he was one of those special people who learned to get in tune with the meaning of their lives, as well as the lives of all of God's creations. His deep understanding of life is evident in the five arguments used by St. Thomas Aquinas to prove the existence of God. For Aquinas, he demonstrated his passivity toward God and logic through God's scientific reasoning using the five arguments. This is one of the many things we can take from St. Thomas to help humanity flourish. He was one of the greatest theologians and philosophers of his time...
