Thomas Aquinas The Five Ways

After reading Aquinas’s “The Five Ways” I found that his second way, the argument of causation, is the most fitting to Descartes belief about the existence of god. In my opinion, this argument holds the most truth because it supports what Descartes speaks upon in is third meditation. Descartes states that he himself could not have invented the idea of god. He then raises the question of what within himself allows him to believe that there is a god. Descartes cannot recall when the idea of a god first came to his memory because the idea of a God has always been there, but from where could it have came if not from his own mind? This question leads Descartes to believe that the entire cause of the idea of god proves that there is a god in
existence.
