Canterbury1‚ the ontological argument was born in the early 1100’s. The ontological point of view‚ according to St. Anselm‚ describes God as “a being than which no greater can be conceived”.2 St. Anselm concluded that if such being failed to exist‚ another even greater being could be conceived that does exist. This argument would be illogical‚ as no being can be greater than the greatest being. Therefore God must exist. As you can see‚ St. Anselm’s ontological argument attempts to prove the existence

makes up life. One of the most critical arguments that claim that there must be a God is the Kalem Cosmological argument‚ which uses the universe’s mere existence or the beginning of the universe’s existence to claim that whatever has a beginning‚ must have a cause‚ insinuating that the cause of the universe’s beginning is in theory‚ God.

Explain Anselm’s Ontological argument (25 marks) Anselm‚ Archbishop of Canterbury and a monk was the creator of the Ontological Argument.

The argument is deductive as it depends only on knowledge and logic‚ not on experience as experiencing God is impossible physically. It is also a priori for similar reasons; the argument relies on logic alone. Anselm put forward his ideas about the existence

He based his arguments on what could be observed‚ his observations included that the universe moves and changes. From his observations he reached conclusions about the existence of God. However‚ Aquinas did actually accept the fact that he may not prove that the cause of the universe is the God of classical theism. He also did not accept infinity because he believed that there had

cause argument proves that God exists? The first cause argument takes the existence of the universe to entail the existence of a being that created it. It does so based on the fact that the universe had a beginning. There must‚ the first cause argument says‚ be something that caused that beginning‚ a first cause of the universe. I do believe that the first cause argument proves God’s existence. This is because the universe consists of a series of events stretched across time in a long causal chain
