There are two forms of the cosmological argument - one based on 'motion', the other based on 'cause'. ### Thomas Aquinas ![Thomas Aquinas](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-06/b0e9de7d-b81a-4ff0-9b72-83dce5285e25/thomas-aquinas-.png) - The word ‘cosmological’ can be a difficult word to understand. It is to do with the cosmos, or the universe - so all the things that exist! - Thomas Aquinas is the philosopher who came up with the cosmological argument. - Aquinas was a philosopher who lived almost 1000 years ago! ### Motion and cause ![Motion and cause](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-07/38537de6-6358-41c2-94f2-a82255a83d52/football-goal.jpg) - To understand the cosmological argument, we are going to start with two examples: - Think about a football heading towards a goal. One of the football players kicked the ball. If no one had kicked it, the ball wouldn’t be moving. - Think about oak trees. They grow from acorns - without acorns, we wouldn’t have oak trees. - These examples should make us think about two keywords: ‘motion’ and ‘cause’. - What started the ball moving towards the goal? - What caused the oak tree to grow? ### Motion ![Motion](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-08/4eccae5e-6551-44b0-92f1-b98163706ef2/gravity-pull-earth-.jpg) - The cosmological argument comes in two key forms. The first form is to do with the idea of motion. - Everything in the world is moving. The earth spinning, plants growing, or a ball heading to a goal. - Something must have started all this and set things moving. ### The Unmoved Mover ![The Unmoved Mover](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-03/c9691fb7-5875-4a06-9f7a-a4e56dda8f78/-Seneca-philosopher-philosophy-stoic-.jpg) - The thing that set everything else moving must be something that doesn’t itself move or change. If it did move, we would need something more to explain why that is moving! - So, Aquinas came to the Unmoved Mover. This is something that started all the movement and change we see in the world, but is not moving. - Aquinas said the Unmoved Mover is God. ### Cause ![Cause](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-08/504cd71f-b751-4b33-93e9-a2ef20eb7751/acorn.jpg) - The other form of the cosmological argument comes from the idea of cause. - Aquinas says that everything we see has been caused. - The oak tree was caused by the acorn which itself came from an oak tree. - So we see a chain: acorn – tree – acorn – tree and so on. This is a chain of cause and effect! ### The First Cause ![The First Cause](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/2543db2f-04ef-4157-a9be-3a8c69307537/tree-bodhi-.jpg) - At some point, every chain of cause and effect must have been started off. - This starting point must have been a cause, which itself did not need to be caused. This is because if it did need to be caused, we would then need to ask what caused that! - So we come to the First Cause, something that caused all other things to exist. Including the universe itself! - Once again, Aquinas says that the First Cause is God. ### The cosmological argument conclusion ![The cosmological argument conclusion](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/AQA%20New%20Modules/8.1.1/large%20star.jpg) - The cosmological argument says that nothing would be in existence without a First Cause that caused everything else. - Also, nothing would be moving or changing without an Unmoved Mover to start them off. - For Aquinas, both the Unmoved Mover and the First Cause must be God! ## Test yourself on The Cosmological Argument - In the cosmological argument, what is the 'First Cause'?
