into existence. God is the Greatest Conceivable Being, without genealogy, and having neither beginning of days nor end of life. Unmistakably, it is vital to have an element of faith to believe in God’s existence for it is impossible for finite minds to understand how God can exist without having a beginning. When atheists and other non-believers try to consider God, they try to make the facts about Him fit within their limited capacity to comprehend and understand. It appears they do not want to believe that there is more of God than their minds can contain and comprehend. Seemingly, the attempt to fully understand God is like trying to place the infinite One into a finite space; that is impossible.Another weak point that appears in Aquinas’ arguments is that even if they do provide certainty about the existence of an unchanging changer or Greatest Conceivable Being that could not have failed to exist, the arguments fail to prove the existence of the theistic God. Since the theistic idea of God is a Being of perfect goodness, omnipotence, and omniscience, an issue arises. How do we know, for example, that the unchanging changer isn’t evil or slightly ignorant? Well, aside from using logic and our natural powers of reasoning to deduce whether the ultimate Being is supremely good or not, observe that an element of faith is once again necessary in this scenario. Finally, regarding the Argument from Motion, who is to say there was only one original Prime Mover? Why not two? Better still, why not a whole team of Gods, working on the project together? Perhaps our universe is one of many attempts, some good, some botched. In defense against this criticism, I believe that it is hard for humans to accept that some things may not have a reason, but there might be instances where this is actually the case. It is my view that there may be some questions that simply may not be answered correctly or known in our lifetime as mortals,...
