1. God is the greatest possible being.
2. The greatest possible being turns out to be a human.
3. Therefore, God is human(s)

Then we agree on that conclusion based on the premise. I just don't see the point of that label at that point. I would just call that "human". This is much like how you said we already have a universal definition for "apple" before.

(March 4, 2017 at 3:10 pm)TheAtheologian Wrote: What points to this as flawed is this:
-What defines "greatness"? There must first be an objective standard for determining greatness. If you have one, is a cat greater than a dog by this standard?
-How do you know the greatest possible being is a necessary being? Why can't I say the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a necessary being as well then if it is possible for this monster to exist, it must exist in all possible worlds.

I was asking the same question about what defines "greatness" earlier. I don't see it as a measurable trait. So far it seems a bit subjective.
