Question #15
What is the Ontological argument for the existence of God???
Answer
The first and most popular form of this argument goes back to St. Anselm in the 11th century A.D. He begins with stating that the concept of God is "a being than which no greater can be conceived." Since existence is possible, and to exist is greater than to not exist, then God must exist.
Therefore, God must exist. Descartes did much the same thing, only starting from the idea of a perfect being.".
Romans 1:20
¶ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse'
