Ontological Argument

The ontological argument defines the existence of God through an a priori assumption about the omnipotence of God as a premise to causality. This view defines the role of God as a the Creator in the universe, which supports the contention that human beings exist because God has created them. In this belief system, Descartes, much like Spinoza and Leibniz, supports the contention that all forms of causality originate from God as an external influence on the human mind. Therefore, if human beings can think, then God must have allowed human beings to see reality and to exists. In a more effective argument, Saint Anselm adopted a method in which a priori assumptions on the existence of God in the universe in Chapter V of the Proslogium:

God is

In contrast to the ontological argument, the issue of causality does not stem from God, but it stems from the early methods of observations that define what actually creates motion in the universe. In this argument, Aristotle’s Physics define the necessity of a First Mover to define the existence of God, which Saint Thomas Aquinas uses as the primary argument for his revelation about the a priori existence of God: But on the contrary, no one can think the opposite of what is self-evident, as Aristotle remarks. One can, however, think the opposite of the proposition "God exists," for, as the Psalm says” (Aquinas, 2014 Article 1, para.4). these scientific approaches to causality do not specifically define “God” as the First Cause, but they define the observational methods of cosmological arguments that Aristotle presented in the classical Greek tradition. This dynamic forces all argue against the unmovable mover, which is put forth to deny the source of motion and causality from a static center. This cosmological view see a natural process of movement that is caused by a energy source of differing varieties and motivations. Aristotle presents this argument by acknowledging that there must be a source of causality for moving things, which illustrates the a priori argument that a force in the universe must be generating the

This argument defines the foundation of “intelligent design”, which has become a modern way in which to define the products of human artifacts as a result of a higher order intelligence. Of course, this intelligence may be God, or it may some other form of intelligence that goes beyond simper notions of a higher power. Paley defines the necessary a posteriori evidence of objective reality, which define the causality of intelligent design as the source of all
