Can you provide the "logical proof" that the existence of god is necessary? If god exists, could god have made 2+2 = 5 a true statement?
You are confusing the property of necessarily existing with logically existing. That is not the point here. Again: if there is a God, it is a metaphysical necessity that he have the property of always existing. If he failed to have that property, he would not be God.
If you think the cosmos necessarily exists (could not have failed to exist), you make your case.
Why not? I don't believe in god; I don't think that god(s) exists. I am not going to argue with you about the nonexistent attributes of nonexistent beings. One could just as well embrace pantheism and simply say that the Cosmos is god.
