The argument follows a posteriori structure in that it argues from experience using evidence from the five senses and drawing conclusion from them. Aquinas proves that since everything that moves is moved by another there must therefore be an Unmoved mover which is God.

In this Thomistic contingency argument Aquinas God. However the point that Aquinas highlights is that God must exist to explain everything else that exists in the universe.
