There are several questions which need answers:

♥ How can I objectively measure greatness?
I don't know the answer to these questions, but I also think they are loaded questions. 1st one is assuming we have to be able to define it rigorously to have a concept of it.
You can't prove the existence of A by claiming that B, which you can't define, proves A. An undefined term is evidence only of your inability to use a term that has meaning. IOW, proof that you have presented no argument.
Please try to think before you post. Many of us have heard your arguments before, have devoted some, or a lot of, time to countering them and, in some cases, have come up with undefeatable counter-arguments long before you were born. You're merely repeating nonsense that was shown to be nonsense a long time ago. (And the ontological argument is one of the worst, since it's so easy to defeat.)
BTW, most arguments of the type you present are just as "valid" in proving that all sorts of other gods exist, so if you want to prove that yours, and only yours, exists, you'll have to come up with MUCH better arguments.
