The flat earth theory is really a legend! Educated people in the Middle Ages knew the earth was round! Columbus knew the earth was round! Educated people at the time of Christ knew the earth was round! The ancient Greeks 500 years before Christ knew the earth was round! Aristotle knew the earth was round! How? Simply watch an eclipse! You can see the shadow of the earth on the moon! Dinesh D”Souza

Aristotle’s Thoughts About God Lesson 2

Aristotle believed that God exists necessarily, which means that God does not depend on anything else for existence. He never changes or has any potential to change, never begins and never ends and so is eternal. Eternal things, Aristotle claimed must be good; there can be no defect in something that exists necessarily, because evil is connected with some kind of lack, a not-being of something which ought to be there, an absence of the “actuality” that Aristotle thought God most perfectly has!

Aristotle’s Thoughts About God (384-322) B.C. Lesson 1

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
