Rational Demonstrations of God’s Existence
Aquinas argued that human reason is capable of uncovering evidence of God’s existence by observing the natural world. For instance, by noting that everything in nature has a cause or moves towards an end, one can logically infer there must be a first cause or an unmoved mover, which is identified as God. Such reasoning, rooted in natural law and empirical observation, provides a rational foundation for the belief in a divine being.
