Kant & ontological proof

The fundamental standards of cosmology are contention for presence of God as a predicate and contention for God’s presence as an essential presence. The principal leg of the contention states: God is the best and absolute best being that can be imagined. Presence in creative mind and the truth is more prominent than presence in creative mind as it were. Consequently, God truly exists. The second leg of the contention is that: God is the element than which nothing more prominent can be imagined. It is more noteworthy to be vital than not. God must be vital. God fundamentally exists.Kant’s issue with imagined God as verification of his real presence is started on the capacity of everything that is said to exist to have a few highlights or qualities owing to them. He contended that presence isn't a property or the constituent of a thing. Anything that has the property of being non-existent can't in any way, shape or form have some other property. David Hume’s prot est is that nothing can be demonstrated from the earlier. Demonstrating from the earlier is through a contrary inconsistency. The resultant inconsistency makes something incomprehensible. Nothing can be demonstrated from the earlier, since it is difficult to appreciate anything not existing.Norman Malcolm, in safeguarding the possibility of God, keeps up that while the facts may confirm that presence of God as a predicate for his world might be impractical, he points out another bit of the contention, which is essential presence. He contends that where the possibility of God, more noteworthy than which nothing can be imagined, is conceivable, it is hence coherently predictable that He essentially exists. I concur with Malcolm. God should fundamentally exist with the goal that the presence of different creatures can be followed to Him, who in himself is self existent.REFERENCE.1.
