For my final project in my Philosophy class, I'm taking St. Thomas Aquina's The Five Ways. His theological arguments create some objections to the existence of God, and to the best of my abilities I will try to answer and refute these disagreements from the knowledge I have learned over this course and from my studies in the Bible and church.

Last but not Least!



"For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made." 
-Romans 1:20


The last objection to the existence of God can be explained as such:if God doesn't exist, everything in the world can be accounted for with few principles. Since it's better to account for things with few principles than many, God doesn't exist. I struggled with the right words to effectively answer this question, so I asked my singles pastor for advice and his opinion on this argument. He stated, "There doesn't seem to be enough evidence about the few principles to make their claim. If they are going to put all their eggs in that basket it seems it would require an explanation of the few principles before...; you must know what you are refuting before you can do so. Their case is too vague." The children's pastor of my church agreed with this by saying that the argument doesn't exactly define the word "principles". I took the word to mean facts. If you look at the argument in this term, you can look at the Bible and history and see that everything mentioned in the Bible took place as it was recorded. One solitary book describes all facts.
