MysticKnight Wrote:Alvin Platinga's arguments argues that maximally great being is possible. Furthermore, to be maximally great, it must be that in all worlds. As it must exist in all possible worlds, it exists in this possible world. Therefore God exists.

This argument dismisses everything that God is known to be. This omnipotent, omniscient entity that is somehow everywhere and nowhere at once. He listens to 2.1 billion people's prayers and has time to perform a couple of hundred miracles every day...and also doesn't have the time to do anything for the poor, dying Christian children in deprived areas. He supposedly is in control of everything.

Just from what we know about...everything, really, it's physically impossible for something like that to exist.
