I have the BOP in this debate to show that it is not necessary, that is, that the vote for any given debate can be objectively derived. Structure will be as per normal for DDO debates. First round is acceptance. Some definitions: Objective = not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased (http://dictionary.refe...
The ontological argument
This is Christopher McHugh's version of the Ontological arugment, and it goes like this: 1) God's existence is either logically impossible or logically necessary. 2) God's existence is not logically impossible. 3) Therefore, God necessarily exists. Premise 1 is true because the definition of God does not allow for contingency; it either necessarily exists or it necessarily doesn't exist.
