Does the evidence for God's existence make sense today?
Abstract
Does the evidence for the existence of God made by Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century make sense today? All the criticisms to which it has been subjected would seem to indicate that they are no longer valid. In this work we begin by recalling the Thomist ways in their traditional sense. Then we present the criticism it has received in the 20th century from Anthony Kenny, an analytical philosopher. Finally, following Sofia Vanni Rovighi's work, we offer an original proposal that allows us to speak about the proof of the existence of God today.
