The Ontological Argument for the Existence of God
RE: The Ontological Argument for the Existence of God
(December 17, 2015 at 10:36 pm)Stimbo Wrote: You're still making assumptions about something you have no way of examining. What if the Pink Unicorn is merely an approximation based on our limited human perception of it? Maybe we only understand it to be a unicorn, whatever that may be, and we imagine it as pink simply as a label. The true Pink Unicornness might be just the tiniest manifestation into our experiential reality. Why can it not be this necessary entity?
Take for example why it's a unicorn as opposed to a horse. Why is it necessary for it to have the thing on it's head in all possible universes as opposed to being a horse? This shows it's not necessarily so.

We know rationally there is no reason it must have this horn as opposed to not having it. 

The next thing it being a unicorn, it has a size. Whatever size it has it can bigger or smaller, even if it's just slightly. Hence it's not necessarily in what it is.

Whatever the necessary being is, it has to be such that no possible world can do without it, and it would possibly necessarily so in all possible worlds. If such a being is rationally possible, it is so by model logic.
