So reality is not broken into case and effect.
Reality is uniform
Free of abstraction
Blebleh I think you're assuming that if someone believes in a God they believe that everything is directly caused by him.
Abstraction is made by the brain only
How do you know that reality is uniform if you do not measure it? Is this another abstraction?
I don't reject that there could be a casuality for what we know; neither do I reject an infinite. The calification of instruments seems to me spooky
How is it wrong though?
@Deleted User You do not make abstractions in the place where they don't belong.
And it becomes uniform.
'Reality is uniform' I need to know more.
@Firefly can you recommend the book you read this from
Sounds interesting
@Deleted User Reality is not broken into things that people use to think.
People use abstractions because they give benefits.
Helping organize thought.
reality is not broken by abstractions itself. You need to use your brain to do that. So case is the creation of the brain
Nothing to do with universe
Or its existance
I think this argument of casuality can be used with God too
In an Absolute sense, reality is just totality, yes. But then it becomes impossible to say anything about it without using abstractions.
@Firefly Do you have a book list
why can't it be something natural?
If something had to move God then the first mover cannot be God.
Is it that difficult to understand?
Tengri is natural
@Deleted User yes, but it is not reality that follow abstractions. It is abstractions that follow reality. And in the case of first mover is opposite.
then god would be the father of who created us?
Such is the nature of all theory.
We can never reach an Absolute understanding of reality.
God is the father of everything. The First mover.
Thanks
ok then we could find the origin of our universe and still ask for who created it and so on
until there's nothing
I don't think you understand the argument Aquinas is trying to make.
In what you quoted
Aquinas still assumes that bigger moves the weaker
but look how in space there isn't gravity
and in a different universe or part this could be different too
