definitive refutations of the ontological argument



1 The creation of the world is the most marvellous achievement
imaginable.


2 The merit of an achievement is the product of (a) its intrinsic
quality, and (b) the ability of its creator

.
3 The greater the disability (or handicap) of the creator, the more
impressive the achievement.


4 The most formidable handicap for a creator would be nonexistence.


5 Therefore if we suppose that the universe is the product of an
existent creator we can conceive a greater being - namely, one
who created everything while not existing.


6 An existing God therefore would not be a being greater than
which a greater cannot be conceived because an even more formidable
and incredible creator would be a God which did not
exist.


Ergo:

7 God does not exist.
