Augustine was the first thinker to develop a comprehensive view of the cosmos, which he did in his work The City of God. Augustine believed that the Earth was created by God and that it was perfect. He believed that humans were made in the image of God and were given dominion over all other creatures. Augustine also believed that human beings were sinful by nature and that they could not redeem themselves from their sins without divine assistance.
Before Augustine, most people believed that the Earth was flat and immovable, but in The City of God, he argues against this idea. His argument is based on his belief that if God created an imperfect world, he would be responsible for all of its imperfections — including gravity and other laws of nature. In order to avoid this responsibility, Augustine argued that God must have created an ideal world free from these imperfections: a perfect place where humans could live forever after death.
Augustine is often considered one of the most important figures in the history of Christianity. He is best known for his contributions in theology, philosophy, and psychology. Augustine’s beliefs about God, humanity and the world were expressed in his writings. He believed that God created everything perfect and that it was not until humans sinned that this perfection was lost.
