If God, a greater being than which cannot be conceived, does not
exist then he cannot come into existence.
For if God did then he would either have been caused to come into existence or would have happened to have come into existence. [In either case God would be a limited being, which by our conception he is not i.e. he is not contingent.] Since God cannot come into existence, if God does not exist Gods existence is IM!SSI"#$. If God does exist he cannot have come into existence%nor can he cease to exist, for nothing could cause him to cease to exist nor could it &ust happen that God ceased to exist. So if God exists, his existence is '$($SS)*+. ,hus Gods existence is either impossible or necessary. ,he concept of God is not -logically absurd. and so, therefore, not impossible. ,herefore, Gods existence is NECESSARY.
