Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
Alas modern Quantum mechanics discredits this argument. Using Fr. Barron's of motion as "motus" or change one encounters all sorts of changes in the atomic or quantum realm that have no cause. The simplest is perhaps the process of radioactive decay that science has studied for over a hundred years. There is no cause for it, it occurs randomly, only having a probability of happening per unit time.
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't fault Aquinas for not knowing this but given the results of modern science one can't advocate that proof any more.
Note : Aquinas didn't understand infinite series ass Zeno's paradox was still a puzzle at that time. It took Newton/Lebnitz to discover calculus and make that paradox no more.
