We do know something about the highest possible goodness.
Therefore there is a connection it.
Therefore it exists.

Is this plagiarism I see?

  1. Premise 1: It is possible to conceive of a being than which nothing greater can be conceived, namely God.
  2. Premise 2: It is possible to conceive of a being that must exist, that is, a necessary being.
  3. Premise 3: It is possible to conceive of a being that may not exist, that is, a contingent being.
  4. Premise 4: A necessary being is greater than a contingent being.
  5. Premise 5: Since God is a being than which nothing greater can be conceived and a necessary being is greater than a contingent being, God is a necessary being.
Therefore God exists.

Is there a copyright lawyer in the house?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
