Proving God's Existence From the World's Order

With Fr James Brent, OP, PhD, STL, Asst Professor of Philosophy, Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception, Washington DC.


St. Thomas Aquinas is well known for his Five Ways for proving the existence of God in the Summa Theologiae. But, his Summa Contra Gentiles has other arguments for God's existence as well. In this episode of Aquinas 101: The Five Ways, join Fr. James Brent, O.P., a Dominican friar from the Province of St. Joseph, as he presents an argument for the existence of God based on the order of the world, from St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles. This video is an excerpt from Lesson 18: Proving God's Existence From the Order in the World by Fr. James Brent, O.P.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
