From the Unity of the World to God. A Teleo-Cosmological Argument for God’s Existence

Journal Title: Scientia et Fides - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

In this paper I pursue an avenue of argument implicit in Patristic thinkers — such as Tertullian and Athanasius — and explicit in the thomistic and scholastic tradition. I argue that there is an ontological unity to the world, and that this unity calls for an explanation in terms of a transcendent cause, traditionally identified with God.
