This proof, from Augustine, is closely related to the argument from consciousness.
"Our limited minds can discover eternal truths about being.
Truth properly resides in a mind.
But the human mind is not eternal.
Therefore there must exist an eternal mind in which these truths reside" (Handbook of Catholic Apologetics, pg. 73)
If you believe, like Plato, "that there are Eternal Intelligible Forms that are present to the mind in every act of knowledge" (Handbook, pg. 73), than it is a short step to see these existing in an Eternal Mind. However, "there is too much about the theory of knowledge that needs to be said before this could work as a persuasive demonstration" (Handbook, pg. 73).
“Magnify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.” summarizes the purpose and mission of our marriage and this blog. Through our marriage and family, we hope to magnify the Lord and bring glory to His name. We married in June of 2006 and thereafter began our journey of infertility and adoption. After three unsuccessful adoptions, we brought home our baby girl, Abigail Chiara, in September of 2010, followed by our precious girl, Gianna Luce, in November of 2011! This blog shares my heart, my life, and what I am learning.
