- The Ontological Argument
- Richard Dawkins
- The other replied saying it doesn't exist because it can only exist in the mind and not in reality
- Used the analogy of children in the playground
- God is a figment of our imagination that only exists in the mind; there can be no perfect being which can exist in reality
- One child asked to imagine the most perfect thing possible and asked if it was real
- David Hume
- All things that could be said to exist but could also be said to not exist
- Existence could only ever be contingent
- Existence is simply a matter of fact. No form can be analytically true
- It is not possible to move from a di dicto definition
- Made a false assumption about existence (necessary existence was a coherent concept)
- Richard Dawkins
