1. Goodness in all possible worlds has one definition and reality.
2. We know it's possible goodness originates from God.
3. We don't know it's possible it originates from anything else.
Therefore, goodness is proven to be from God.
Let's just assume all the premises are true so we can examine the logic. I don't think this follows. Premise 2 and 3 do nothing to support the conclusion. Let's plug in some different variables.
2. We know it's possible the taffy originates from the local candy factory.
3. We don't know it's possible the taffy originates from anywhere else.
Therefore, the taffy is proven to be from the local candy factory.
I think you have an argument from ignorance here. I could be wrong, but the fact remains this does not follow. Anyone care to figure out which fallacy?
I can easily show you went wrong and have a false analogy.
How about I give you a chance or Atheists a chance to correct you.
It may help you to reason to arrive at what reason calls. (hint: look at premise 1).
Even with premise 1, it does not follow. I intentionally left out premise 1 because it's really vague, and I just wanted to see what work premise 2 and 3 did ON THEIR OWN. Even if premise 1 is true-- truer than true, it does not change anything.
