Part 1: M8. Assignment: Aquinas & God’s NatureThinkers in the Medieval Period were preoccupied with problems surrounding the existence of God. Thomas Aquinas is justly famous for enumerating five proofs for God’s existence. But he also claimed that because of those proofs, there are things we can rightly know about the nature of God. From those proofs he says we can understand two things about God’s existence. And from those two things, we can flesh out even more knowledge about Him. In this assignment carefully give a detailed explanation those two initial bits of knowledge. And then explain them further as Aquinas does. Aquinas claims we can retain the mystery surrounding God’s nature and yet have a glimpse of what he actually is. Do you believe Aquinas argument permits us to see God in this way? Is Aquinas’ argument sound?Sculpture of Thomas Aquinas. Source: Flickr. Creative Commons.Submission:Must be a minimum of 1 1/2 pages with standard 1-inch margins in Times New Roman or Garamond font.

Discussion: What was God Doing Before he Made the World?TopicWhat was God doing before he made heaven and earth?Augustine raises that interesting question as he considered the differences between his Manichean religion and Christianity. His answer revolutionized our idea of time. We talk about time all the time, but when we stop to think about it, what do we mean when we talk about present time? How long is the present? How long is a long time? Discuss some of the main ideas Augustine arrived at in relation to time. In the end, what is God’s relation to time and how should we think about the terms past, present, and future? How does that view compare with what we now know of the universe thanks to images from the Hubble telescope? Are Augustine’s thoughts about time consistent with the images we see in the video below?Source: Origin of the Universe 101. National Geographic. You Tube. 1 March 2018.
