Today I want to briefly go over the Ontological Argument, what is it? and what is it used for?
The ontological argument goes like this.
God can be defined as a maximally Great Being, All powerful, Knowing, Morally Perfect, in every possible world. A Possible world is simply ways the world could have been. To say that something exist in a possible world is just to say if the world were that way then that thing would have existed.
Here is a Summary of the Argument:
1. It's possible that a Maximally Great being exist.
2. A Maximally great being exist in some possible world
3. If a maximally great being exist in some possible world, then it exist in every possible world.
4. If a maximally great being exist in every possible world then it exist in the actual world.
5. A maximally great being exists in the actual world.
6. Therefore, a maximally great being exists
So In conclusion the professing Atheist must maintain that it is impossible that God exist.
