Absolutely delightful Profesor Gregory..I feel the understanding as well as the intellection.One thing I did not understand.At 12:49 you say an objection would be the God of scripture.I always understood the God Yaweh/Elohim/I AM to be all those reasonings that Aquinas argues.The only Eternal,self causing Creator of all that is ,whome effects all the Universe.His understanding is infinite.He stretches the Heavens and He will roll them back up again like a scroll(loose paraphrase.The worship of Deity entails the intelligent aknowledgement of all truths attributes glories metaphores etc,...The Hindu conception on the other hand,as understood in Vishnu,Brahma and Siva tell of a eternal ,always existing creation that unfolds for 311 trillion years and then collapses into utter darkness non being for an equivalent amount of time,whereupon Vishnu once again lays down in the InfiniteCausal Ocean to meditate,and dream the galaxies and all the cosmos into being.There never was a no infinity, there never was a non eternal.The distinction is that God is the Artificer of the causal ocean whereas vishnu partakes of something perhaps other,although I could be mistaken about that.
Dr. Sadler, thanks for taking the time to bring St. Thomas to a level that can be understood in a short video like this.
You're very welcome!
i'm an engineer moonlighting as a philosopher :) thanks to awesome videos like these!
You're welcome!
I really enjoy your videos. They are very interesting, especially with regards to theology and ethics, something I've been pondering a lot recently.
Glad you're finding it useful
