Document Summary
Aquinas is right because things have to exist outside of the realm of the things that need movers, there"s a distinct end to that, before that is god, who exists outside of this circle. God is the only mover outside the realm. If he existed before the first mover, he wouldn"t exist before all times: god exists always, therefore exists before the first move, therefore, god is first mover, this is omnipresent. Omniposent: people move towards an end then directed by a being that"s all knowing, intelligent, things have direction, direction has to be given from the outside by god, only being that exists outside. God"s reason for existing because he is the only powerful being, can bring the non-existent to existence. He"s been there this whole time and only one who can make things possible. He is the unmoved mover makes him powerful because. Moving argument proves he is the first being and created everything else after.
