Hi there! Welcome to the opening project for my three-project series on God, the saints and Mary, and the Eucharist. This project explores the logic and physics of God and his existence, particularly Thomas Aquinas's five proofs for the existence of God. I tried not to make this project too complicated to understand, but I'll go deeper into it if you ask me. For any questions (or counterarguments!) please contact me.

Definition of God: God is understood as a being than which nothing greater can be conceived. 2. Existence in the Mind: This concept of God exists in the mind and understanding. 3. Greater Existence: It is greater for a being to exist in reality than to exist only in the mind. 4. Contradiction: If God existed only in the mind, then we could conceive of a greater being—one that exists in reality. 5. Conclusion: This is a contradiction, as it implies a being greater than that which nothing greater can be conceived. Therefore, God must exist in reality as well as in the mind.
