The Ontological Argument - valid or debunked?

Scientists, in all their accumulated wisdom, do not know what happened before a certain point. Anyone claiming to know, based on a handful of dumbass statements, is having a fucking giraffe. Do you know how that arrogant that is, more than anything else?

2 is just simply true (as true as "all bachelors are unmarried"), and 3 is based on the argument that the maximally great being, as defined by Plantinga, is possibly necessary. Again, under modal logic, all entities that are necessary must exist if it is possible for them to exist. That's just how the logic goes.
