The Argument from Gradation (Perfection) in Things

1) There are different degrees of perfections among beings (some are most nearly perfect than others).

2) But things cannot be more or less perfect unless there is a wholly perfect.

3) Whatever is perfect is the cause of the less-than-perfect (the higher is the cause of the lower).

4) Therefore, there must be a perfect Being that is causing the perfections of the less-than-perfect beings.

5) This we call God.

Hebrews 1:1-4

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son,whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.  So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
