- I think of God as the greatest conceivable being.
- A being can exist merely as an idea, or in reality.
- It is greater to exist in reality rather than just as an idea.
- If I thought of this greatest conceivable being as existing merely as an idea, then I could think of a greater being, i.e. a being that exists in reality.
- This greatest conceivable being must exist in reality too; therefore God exists.
You should be aware that this kind of sophistry is not the clearest proof of God's existence. Rather, the bootomless wisdom which we see within the creation points much more clearly to God than the arguments of philosophers.
