Sažetak
Aspiration for discovering one necessary creature, who establishes visible
and changeable cosmos, has existed in the early period of philosophical
thinking. In philosophical tradition the most acknowledged way of determining
existence of such creature starts form empirical givenness of
this world which testifies about its imperfectness, instability, decadence,
changeability, unnecessity (contingent). Hence it can be concluded that
there exists one, necessary, perfect and infinite creature. On the example
of T. Akvinski’s five ways the author gives the structure and content of
cosmic evidence for God’s existence. In the end of each starting point it
can be concluded that there exists either the First immovable initiator
or the First cause or Necessary creature or according to Akvinski, God.
The author also gives results of researching some natural-science theories
comparing their ranges with the conclusions of cosmic evidence. The conclusion
of that comparison is that the most known contemporary theories
more confirm than deny ranges of cosmic evidence, firstly because they
also show that world is contingent, finite, changeable, but based on legalities
which have their justification in necessary, perfect and above all
intelligent creature.
