From Josh Vargas<br>
subject:Monday, March 10 Existance of God<br>
 <br>
  Ontological Argument: an apriori argument is one that is independent of experience.<br>
    God exists: A triangle has 3 sides<br>
     A bachelor is an unmarried man.<br>
  Descartes: God is perfect being (Definition of G.C.B)  a perfect being must contain all perfections.(all great or perfect-making properties.)<br>
  Existence: existance is perfection,it is better to exist than not to.<br>
Conclusion: God exists.<br>
<br>
Anslem: Deductio ad abusrdum:(Latin :reduce to an absurity)<br>
Assume opponents view, then show it implies some, absurd, or ridicules, or false consquence to show it should be rejected.<br>
 Ex: Morality is ralative: to the individual therefore it might be ok for some people to commint wrong doings.<br>
  -It was ok for Hitler to gas the Jews<br>
  -It is of to molest children and videotape it.<br>
 Both of these statements are absurd, there fore you might have reject morality, right?<br>
  The aethist say God does not exist, but he understands the term "God" which he agree's in the concept " The Greatest Concievable Being."<br>
  -Aethists believe God exists in your mind.  This means the same as the G.C.B exists only in your mind. But if he was the G.C.B then he would not just exist in the mind but in reality as well. Therefore an aethists interpratation of G.C.B is wrong. Contridicting.<br>
  Since aethism, leads to contridicting views, then theism must be true.<br>
