So Thomas Aquinas wrote daily meditations for Lent. And so what I'm going to do over on

matfrad.locals.com is read those meditations and release them every day throughout Lent. So if you've

been thinking, what's a cool way I could prepare for Easter, this would be it. Go over and support us

at matfrad.locals.com and you'll get a bunch of free things

in return. One of those free things will be daily meditations for Lent. Matfrad.com. Thanks.

Are we live? Yep. Natural theology. What is it? Whose idea was it anyway? Yeah, it's a great idea.

So I think it comes from, I would say, it's a great question.

I would say it's a great question.

Of course it's a great question.

Thank you.

So I would say that if we look at Aristotle's metaphysics, right, then he talks about and he kind of describes what metaphysics is, you might say defines it.

But one of his descriptions is it's the divine science because metaphysics is trying to understand the mind of God.

So that's divine wisdom.

That's, of course, what any philosopher's interested in.

So being philosophically already sort of like a metaphysician, you're interested in that level.

And so if it's the divine mind that we're interested in, right, then there's a certain sense in which we're doing theology because it's the mind of God. It's God himself who we're trying to learn about and think about and understand. But it's natural because it's not based on revelation. And so that idea is where the term or notion comes from. So metaphysics includes what we call

natural theology. What about if we call it supernatural philosophy? We can call it supernatural philosophy.

I dig it. Hey, I never thought of that. That makes sense. I might have to steal that for you from you for my for my students.

Do you get a lot of students at Francisco and asking about proofs for God's existence?

Oh, this is to me, this is to me what all of us are interested at some level.

I mean, your son's already interested this, I'm sure.

Yeah.
