In the Bible, a book meant to be the word of God, condemns such things

as murder, adultery and theft. I find it hard to believe that an all-powerful,

all-knowing, infinitely-good being that "created" this world and everything in

it would allow any of these things to occur. He would not only condemn them in

an ancient book, but abolish them altogether along with any other things evil.

If God is supposed to be the "heavenly father" wouldn't he want and impose onto

his children his goodness and weed out all evil?

Aquinas also shows this non-existence through Objective 2 where he

writes how it is expecting too much for something that can be accounted for be a

few principles has been produced by many. There are other principles that can

account for everything we see in our world supposing God did not exist. All

things can be reduced to one principle, that of nature and therefore there is no

need to suppose God's existence.

Once more I agree with his rationale of this subject, for it is logical

to believe in a simple, visible, measurable concept such as the principle of

nature, instead of something so complex it is near in-conceivable, and not able

to be seen or measured. Nature could have accounted for the gradual development

of mankind and scientific theories have given us explanations for the existence

of nature and proof of this gradual development. Our planet's creation has

been explained as a result of "The Big Bang" and man's development from a

single-cellular organism to the multi-cellular, intelligent man of today by

evolution. I agree with both of Thomas Aquinas' Objectives
