How so? Conceivability implies something exists in some possible world. In other words, it is possible.

A square circle is not possible. It exists in no possible world. It is not conceivable either.

Conceivability and possibility are basically synonymous terms imo. If it is conceivable, it is possible.

No, it doesn't. If it does, then I can conceive of a world without God. Since I can conceive it, it's possible. If it's possible, there is one possible world without God. Since God by definition, if he exists, exists in all possible worlds, then God doesn't exist by implication. Thanks for playing.
