Page 1 of 4
3. 3. Question : (TCO 3) Explain and evaluate Thomas Aquinas’ Cosmological
Argument for the existence of God: The first and plainest is the
method that proceeds from the point of view of motion. It is
certain and in accord with experience, that things on earth
undergo change. Now, everything that is moved is moved by
something; nothing, indeed, is changed, except it is changed to
something which it is in potentiality. Moreover, anything moves in
accordance with something actually existing; change itself, is
nothing else than to bring forth something from potentiality into
actuality. Now, nothing can be brought from potentiality to actual
existence except through something actually existing: thus heat
in action, as fire, makes fire-wood, which is hot in potentiality, to
be hot actually, and through this process, changes itself. The
same thing cannot at the same time be actually and potentially
the same thing, but only in regard to different things. What is
actually hot cannot be at the same time potentially hot, but it is
possible for it at the same time to be potentially cold.
It is impossible, then, that anything should be both mover and
the thing moved, in regard to the same thing and in the same
way, or that it should move itself. Everything, therefore, is moved
by something else. If, then, that by which it is moved, is also
moved, this must be moved by something still different, and this,
again, by something else. But this process cannot go on to infinity
because there would not be any first mover, nor, because of this
fact, anything else in motion, as the succeeding things would not
Page 2 of 4
move except because of what is moved by the first mover, just as
a stick is not moved except through what is moved from the
hand. Therefore it is necessary to go back to some first mover,
which is itself moved by nothing–and this all men know as God.
Briefly explain and then evaluate this proof for the existence of
God.
4. 4. Question : (TCO 11) Identify and analyze three basic patterns in indigeneous
religions. Use examples from traditional Hawaiian religion to
support your answer.
