Plantiga's ontological argument.
#17
RE: Plantiga's ontological argument.
This argument fails because you can use it to prove anything since the premise itself is an assumption that anything is possible. Any argument that starts with an assumption like this is obviously flawed. It jumps to the end and then uses the conclusion to prove itself. Circular statement. If God exists you can use the same argument to prove he doesn't like someone else stated.
