Is there really anything incoherent or illogical about the very concept of a Necessary Being? In other words, can anyone come up with reasons why a Necessary Being is impossible? Or have we now accepted that it is certainly possible for there to be a Necessary Being?
By "Necessary Being," I mean something that cannot not exist. In other words, "existence" is in the very essence/definition of that thing.
Why "being"?
By "being," I mean "something that exists." That's one of the official definitions for the word "being" according to Merriam-Webster.
I've thought about using some other term, such as "Necessary Existent," but the most popular terminology for "something which cannot not exist" is "Necessary Being," so I stuck with that.
