To most people around the world today may just seem like another day in the 13th century, however here in Italy today marks a significant discovery and the first time that the cosmological has been made famous within society. Although we have been told that the concept has been around since Plato and Aristotle, it is not until now that it has been made famous around the world and in Western philosophy. Today marks the day St Thomas Aquinas declared their theory for Gods existence, which has since been named the Cosmological Theory.

6. Therefore, a necessary being (a being that cannot not-exist) exists, and a timeless, personal and immaterial being of immense power would have been the cause of the universe.
(Holt, 2008) But will the church agree with this claim? I tend to think that the church would agree with this theory as it firmly reinstates what the Bible explains to be the cause of the universe. From the very first verse of the bible, the bible tells us that God created the …show more content…
It has often been said that science is the only way to gain this knowledge. Science may tell us about the natural world, so we can figure out the composition of the world as well as other things, but knowledge comes from more than just science. In addition to science, reason or logical deduction is also a form of knowledge. Other ways to gain knowledge can come from testimony (gaining knowledge from other people), introspection (where you find out about what’s going on in your internal state or your mind). There’s not scientific experiment that you can perform to gain the information that you would through these forms of gaining knowledge often making them much faster and more accurate, therefore proving that science is not the only way to gain knowledge.
