By Plantinga's "logic" -- because if it's possible it's existent -- well, you've been drunk for every football game you played in? Because if it's possible in one world, it exists in every world, no? I was stone-cold sober for my three seasons at OLB and backup WR. Drank a hell of a lot of gatorade, though. Maybe your world is different from mine, I dunno.
That's assuming multiple timelines/realities, which of course Plantinga can't demonstrate. That's because logic is a human construct used to evaluate events -- but it cannot and does not dictate events.
So a philosopher concocted a logical argument positing that if this godling can exist, he must exist. Great. Let's see how human logic stands up to brute reality. You go first.
