So.. If god god exists in any possible world he must exist in all possible worlds.
Firstly, he starts with an "if",then somehow without explanation turns it into a "must", therefore god.
Ta Dah!!!
Ok, let's try this another way. Since this should be applicable to anything we can imagine, we'll swap god for a million dollars in my bank account.
So... If in a possible world I have a million dollars in my bank account, then that must be so in all possible worlds, including the actual one.
*checks bank account*
Oops, no million dollars. Guess that fails then.
