Aristotle believed that all movement depends on there being a mover. For Aristotle, movement meant more than something traveling from point A to point B. Movement also included change, growth, melting, cooling, heating…ect. Aristotle argued that behind every movement there must be a chain of events that brought about the movement we see taking place. Aristotle believed that this chain of events must lead back to something which moves but is itself unmoved. He referred this to the prime mover. In Aristotle’s view change is eternal! There cannot have been a first change, because something would have had to happen just before that change which set it off, and this itself would have been a change, and so on. In his book Metaphysics (literally after physics), Aristotle calls this source of all movement the Prime Mover. The Prime Mover to Aristotle is the first of all substances, the necessary first sources of movement which is itself unmoved. It is a being with everlasting life, and in Metaphysics Aristotle calls this being “God.” Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
