“Our verdict on these reformulated versions of St. Anselm's argument must be as follows. They cannot, perhaps, be said to prove or establish their conclusion. But since it is rational to accept their central premise, they do show that it is rational to accept that conclusion” (Plantinga 1974, 221).

That would be Platinga, going for the "Okay maybe it doesn't prove a god but at least we're not batshit crazy" defense.
