Thomas Aquinas Five Proofs For God's Existence

We have witnessed hierarchy from the start of civilization; it has been both our downfall and a blessing. We have had many forms of hierarchy, but when put forth it starts to crumble from those oppressed. The fourth way of Thomas Aquinas's five proofs for God's existence is degree.

Instead it creates doubt and skepticism around it, making people wonder where they stand on the social ladder of
