The third way Aquinas gives for proving "God exists" is true is from the fact that some things are only "possibles".

Very good video and great argument. However i have diffucult time to accept premises 10 and 11. Premise 10 " Every necessary thing either has its necessity caused by another or not " Let us assume God that has its own necessity. Now God causes another necessity to some being or creates them. If God creates it then it would be another necessary being. But necessary being definitionally is a being that it is impossible not to exist. Then how can God create it?. It must have always existed.
Let us assume then that God causes some being to have necessity. Then it must have been a contingent being before that because it didnt have necessity. Which means at some time it did not exist. But let us assume that God created also this contingent being. Then it would have to be cause and effect. If necessary A then necessary B. B cannot be then contingent.
So it seems to me that there could be more than one necessary being but they cannot cause each others existence. They have always existed. Maybe these other necessary beings could be parts of God. For example Angels. 🤔If im correct.
