Abstract
Many arguments reason from natural evidence to the existence of some necessary ground of our universe. This ground is the creator and sustainer of all the physical things in our universe. Arguments for this necessary ground of our physicality include Aquinas’s Second and Third Ways (Summa Theologica, Part 1, Q. 2, Art. 3).1 These arguments are usually referred to as cosmological arguments. Since they are based on natural evidence, cosmological arguments are naturalistic arguments. If they are sound, then they produce natural outputs — they cannot lead to supernatural objects.
