Storyboard Text
- 1. In the universe there are things in motion or change, eg wood burning in a fire
- 2. Nothing can move or change itself
- In Plato's terms everything is a secondary mover
- 3. Imagine everything is a secondary mover
- There would be an infinite regress of movers
- ?????????????????
- 4. Reductio ad absurdum
- If 3 were true, then there would be no prime mover and hence no subsequent movers. But this is false
- Conclusion:
- There must be an unmoved prime mover, whom we call God
- The source of all motion / change
- Thomas Aquinas' 1st Way - argument from motion
