Philosophy of Religion

Late post, but here it is.

I came across a delightful logical argument for the existence of God in a website called Philosophy of Religion (www.philosophyofreligion.info). The website, it seems is neither here nor there, but they simply wish to provide arguments for and against the existence of God. Most arguments for use the Bible for examples, etc. but they (from what I have seen) refer to God simply as God, which is excellent because now we can extend all their arguments to our favor. :P

Anyway, among other interesting topics, I found one called The Modal Ontological Argument, which is a logic based argument for the existence of God and it goes, as I understand it, as follows.

If God exists, He is a necessary Being. That is, he exists in all possible worlds. (Hold on to your hats folks, were entering parallel universe territory.) Next, it says IF God exists, then it is possible that there is some possible world in which He exists. Therefore, according to the first argument, He must exist in ALL worlds; in other words, God exists.

The full argument is delightfully wordy and uses the typical philosophical argument format involving exclusives and inclusives, and can be found here:

Be careful though, there are links on that website to places where they argue against the existence of God, and I don't recommend you read them. 

I do like this one argument I read though in which they invoke something called Ockham's razor (yes, razor) which is the rule that between two arguments, the simpler is to be taken as superior. The author then states that the argument between a finite force, and an infinite force is won by the infinite force because an argument for a finite force assumes 2 things: the force, and that which causes it, whereas the argument for an infinite force needs only the infinite force because an infinite force cannot be constrained. 

Anyway, have a look, but hold fast to your deen; it's in places like these that it is quickly snatched away!
