What the hell is a "necessary being"? What a screwy idea. Perhaps a doctor at an emergency room is pretty necessary. A new born baby with a naval is a strong indication that a mother was necessary.

But necessary as in a creator god to account for there being something instead of nothing? Bunk. If somethingness necessitates a creator then that creator all the more necessarily requires a creator, and so on.

Are there also "optional beings"? There's a club I don't want to join.
