Aristotle said that the world must have an "Initial Cause", that something must have set in motion the cosmos. That has been used and is still used as an argument by many theists in favour of the existence of God. Aristotle did not describe exactly what/who that cause is, but the very nature of such a thing implies that it is a god-like entity.
According to Aristotle, the ultimate cause of reality is the Prime Mover or the Unmoved Mover. This is a transcendent and eternal being that is responsible for initiating and sustaining the motion and order of the universe. The Prime Mover is pure actuality and a source of all change without being subject to change itself.
According to Aristotle, the final cause of rainfall is to nourish and sustain life on Earth by providing water to plants and animals. Rainfall is essential for the growth of crops, the replenishment of water sources, and the maintenance of ecosystems.
Aristotle's idea of the Chain of Cause and Effect is a concept in which all events are interconnected and influenced by preceding events. He believed that all actions have a cause, and that cause will lead to an effect, creating a chain of events that govern the natural world. This concept is foundational to his philosophy on causation and the study of metaphysics.
The four causes in Aristotle's theory are material cause (what something is made of), formal cause (the form or structure of something), efficient cause (the agent or force that brings something into being), and final cause (the purpose or goal for which something exists).
Both Aristotle and Aquinas believed that God was the highest idea because they saw Him as the ultimate cause and source of all existence. They argued that God represented perfection, goodness, and immutability, making Him the most comprehensive and supreme concept in human thought. This belief was central to their understanding of metaphysics and theology.
Aristotle's four questions outline the types of inquiries used in philosophical and scientific investigations. They include: 1) What is it made of? (Material cause) 2) How was it made? (Efficient cause) 3) What is its form or design? (Formal cause) 4) What is its purpose or function? (Final cause)

Ultimate reality exists outside religions. There is not a different reality for each religion, only an inner peace and understanding. It is both a religious experience (no matter one's faith) and a personal experience. The only requirement in achieving ultimate reality is belief in and a surrender to a greater power. Meditation is a great way to encounter the Ultimate Reality because it is like the opposite of prayer; instead of talking to God(s), you are listening. As a Christian, I can tell you there is not a "Christian Ultimate Reality" but all Christians can encounter Ultimate Reality.What is stated above is both self refuting and ridiculous. If there is no ultimate reality, then this turns out to actually be the ultimate reality, so the idea shoots itself in the foot. It is contradictory and therefore necessarily false to say that it is true that there is no ultimate truth. A self refuting statement is one that cannot live up to its own criteria of meaning. Anything you say to me about truth, even if you say there is none, is a claim to truth. You want me to think it is true that there is no truth. I simply can't buy it. Of course there is a Christian ultimate reality. It begins with God himself, who is the source of all things, the foundation upon which everything else rests. The next truth about Christian ultimate reality is that nothing comes from nothing, or out of nothing, nothing comes. Therefore there must be a cause or source for everything. The universe could not have created itself, and so it needs a cause greater than it. All this inner peace and listening in meditation is nonsense if there is no ultimate source of meaning. Since God is that source, he is the ultimate reality, in the biblical, Christian view. Further, we are not perfect and must die, but there either is or is not a "cure" for death, a solution to the problem of "eventual personal extinction." If there is not, then there is no ultimate hope for anyone, let alone humanity. If there is a path to immortality, then there is indeed hope for everyone. Christ is both that path and that hope.
Aristotle died from an unidentified stomach illness.
the ultimate cause of crime is the law
Aristotle defines plot as "the arrangement of the incidents [action, episodes, scenes] according to cause and effect."
The definition of ultimate causes is the ultimte cause of ur causes
Both Aristotle and Galileo triggered a Paradigm Shift. Galileo mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'. To be honest a universe with or without earth as centre doesn't matter that much Probably Newton made more difference, only would there have been a 'Newton' without Galilei But also Newton mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'. Aristotle cause a Major Paradigm shift in The Western World. A reality Redesign. One that changed the view about reality from a holistic view (The One, The Fire, The All, ..) in a creationist view. Physical common sense reality + supreme God. Excuse for hunting 'barbarians', 'devils', 'witches', 'terrorists'
The plot is just what happens in the story. Tell someone what happened in the story and you have the plot. Aristotle says that plot is "the arrangement of the incidents" according to cause and effect.
No he did not. Aristotle created the discipline of logic. He used this logic to answer life's greatest question. ..What is holding up reality? His answer was the universe must be held up and sustained by something that was uncreated and not part of the material world. . Otherwise it too would require a cause. We see design so it must be a mind . He called this God... The unmoved mover and first cause. He determined God was One...There were not "gods"
Aristotle called the original source of all motion the first cause or prime mover.
