Document Summary
Five ways to prove god exists: from facts of motion (or change, from facts of causation. Ask why things happened like what caused what. The unmoved, mover is god (the first motion/causation) If something can be warmer, it has the potential to be warmer. Something cant be mover and moved, if it has the potential to be hot, it is hot: from facts about possibility and necessity, from the gradation to be found in things. There was a time when it didn"t exist, then came to be. There must be something that was always there. Some things are better than other things. This must be god: from facts about the governance of the world. Critical of materialism and money in one page. Views largely about signs we have probably objected. World is metaphysically richer then we think. Live in a world that has changed its mind on some ideas. Idea we can find direct purpose in nature.
