The Fourth Way: Argument from Gradation of Being

• There is a gradation to be found in things: some are better or worse than others.
  
• Predications of degree require reference to the “uttermost” case (e.g., a thing is said to be hotter according as it more nearly resembles that which is hottest).
  
• The maximum in any genus is the cause of all in that genus.
  
• A maximum is a limit of a particular value.
  
• Therefore something which is to all beings the cause of their being, goodness, and every other perfection which we call God cannot exist because it would be limited by having a maximum.
  

This reminds me of the paradox of God and his really heavy rock. But is God being constrained by our limits a problem? It always made sense to me that God would have to abide by our universe's laws if he were to act within it. But that doesn't mean he can't exist outside of our time and space and do things against the laws of our reality, since they won't apply outside of it. Him being constrained by our logic would actually be him willingly constraining himself by operating within our limits . Does that make sense?
