St. Thomas Aquinas argued he had a proof of good, actually he believed he had several but I will present one here. I present this because it most certainly is a paradox.

Basically, his argument is thus: Science has shown that all things in motion were put in motion by something else and that in turn was put in motion by something else. Aquinas argued that following this chain all the way back to the beginning will bring one to the original motion setter adn that is God.

So, I wonder, if God put everything in motion, what put God in motion? Was he always thus and if so....fuck I dont' even know what to say about that.
