(1) Imagine the tastiest cookie ever.
(2) It would be even tastier if it was in your mouth
(C1) The tastiest cookie exists in your mouth

If only things could be willed into existence like that...

I have done the reverse argument as well. Imagine the most evil scariest creature possible. Imagine further that it is so powerful its even more powerful than God and immortal, of course......

You can do it with a whole host of things.
