Debate on 5 Non-Biblical arguments for the existence of God

I fear the content of your opening post is probably too much for one thread, but I have a very specific question...Do you, personally, find your argument #5 (Ontological argument) compelling? I've heard the argument before, and I'm always left scratching my head why ANYONE would take it seriously, yet obviously many people have. I wonder if I'm missing something, because it strikes as the most ludicrious proposed "proof" of God I've ever seen. Each and every assertion it makes seems unfounded, and each conclusion it draws is a non-sequiter.If anyone could phrase this to me in a way that makes it seem even slightly reasonable, I'd actually be grateful.This message has been edited by Zhimbo, 09-29-2004 10:27 PM
