The Ontological Argument - valid or debunked?
RE: The Ontological Argument - valid or debunked?
And here's the thing, when speaking of "existence in a possible world" that notion is ambiguous. It can refer to both actual existence in a possible world and possible existence in a possible world. Our world is an example of a world with both possible and actual existence.

When speaking of "existence in possible world" it's important to not use the ambiguity of that notion to equivocate possible existence in a possible world with actual existence in a possible world. If that equivocation is made then it can be fallaciously concluded that other existences in possible worlds are just as actual as our world.
