The Modal Ontological Argument - Without Modal Logic

Like for example, the angles in a triangle adding up to 180 is a necessary truth in all worlds. We know this because it's possible in all possible worlds, and it's necessary truth in each possible world.

You mean, aside from the fact that it's not true in all possible worlds.....

Hell, it's not even true in this one, as the existence of matter basically guarantees that there is no flat region of space.


Actually, I see it as more of a question of commutivity of the modal logical operations, which is lost if you take it out of modal logic.
