Well, that's a matter of analyzing the logical arguments being made. Is there an error you're aware of?

It needs to be shown only one necessary being is possible, or the argument seems to imply many necessary beings exist.
This seems a little muddled.
1) The argument doesn't have to show that a Necessary Being is possible. It only has to show that a subset of a respondent's indicated beliefs, if true, imply that a Necessary Being exists.
2) The argument doesn't say anything about the number of Necessary Beings that exist. If you are claiming that the argument implies that multiple Necessary Beings exist, please demonstrate it.
