There is something inherently in every human that wants to legitimize his existence. As humans, people tend to search for their identity from where they come from or where they are going but many search for the origin of life. I found interesting the way that Aquinas legitimizes his reason that 'the ultimate end' for the intellect is to understand God because everyone to some extent wants to know the origin of life. The origin of life would give people a sense of identity of where they came from. Scientists try to search for the origin of life because it is a question that humas explore and have not found an answer to. Even though, scientists have found evidence to support the big bang these same scientists at one time believed the earth was flat and up to about sixty years ago they did not even know there was something smaller than an atom. My whole point is that every body has a theory about the origin of life but Aquinas stands on his opinion by stating that the first cause of everything was God so to understand the origin of life one must know God.
