    scripture stands alone as all that is needed for trusting and obeying God perfectly. The Catholic Church argues that Sacred Tradition is as equally important as Sacred Scripture is for understanding and responding to the call of salvation. St. Thomas Aquinas views Sacred Tradition not as an “addition to Holy Writ [scripture]‚ but something gathered from it”.

Aquinas’ argument gives a very detailed account as to why god actually exists.

    Four components of Thomas Aquinas’ cosmological argument for the existence of God are the argument from first motion‚ the argument from first cause‚ the argument from degrees‚ and the argument from the contingent. The argument from first motion is practically the thought that because things move in the universe and something else caused those things to move‚ then there must be an initial mover—that initial mover is God (Vaughn 64-65).
