Scope
 * Thomas Aquinas 5 ways

Scope
 * 1 Motion
 * 2 Causation
 * 3 Contingency/nonexist
 * 4 Degree/magnitude
 * 5 Final cause

1 Motion
 * Chain reaction of motion. Chain cannot be infinite.

2 Causation
 * Continuous chain of causation (gears). Can be infinite chain, argument still holds.

3 Contingency
 * Everything that is not neccessary to the universe can, at some point, pass out of existence. Given infinite time, then at some point everything would be gone, at which point nothing could come back. So there must be a neccessary something (in and of itself) which is God.

4 Degree
 * We see things with qualities of different magnitudes. We are comparing them against perfect ideals. These ideals must exist. They exist in God.
 * I disagree with this one.

5 Final cause
 * Teleological, design.
