    The ontological argument seems to be very natural and trivial....Great !!

    Ok, the atheist granted that the existence of God is possible. But what happens when the theist is intellectually honest (yes, they are among us) and grants that God may not exist or that is possible the universe was originated from quantum fluctuations? How can God not exist necessarily in the "atheist modal argument" if he was supposed to exist necessarily in the modal ontological argument? There can't be two truths.

    Really interesting. The classics arguments, even we accept them or not, are very interesting efforts for God. They are more effective than the banana argument 😅

    The question about the existence of God does not call for material evidence, but call for evidence of a consciousness in universe. At the moment there is evidence for consciousness in universe, us. So God is a valid possibility... not just that... maybe it is the only possibility.

    This analysis was almost aggressively bad. The ontological argument is a blatant fallacy of question begging, and you categorically failed to point this fact out. You can't just declare by rote fiat that "God is a necessary being." That literally just assumes the very conclusion you're trying to prove. You even ignored the counter ontological argument, which says that if God's NON-existence is possible, then God's non-existence is NECESSARY. This is absolutely absurd for the same reason, and it's the same logic used to prove God by the theist.
    My friend, you're supposed to be a PhD philosopher. How in the world did you fail to recognize such obvious fallacies? What exactly am I supposed to think about your academic credentials when you failed to recognize a freshman-level blundering of argumentation? Why are you lending credence to this garbage?
