Saint Anselm's ontological argument is a philosophical reasoning that asserts the existence of God based on the concept of a perfect being. While it is compelling for some, its sufficiency as a theistic proof is debated. Critics argue that it relies heavily on a specific definition of God and may not resonate with those who do not accept its premises. Ultimately, while it provides an interesting perspective, it may not be universally convincing as definitive proof of God's existence.
the standard is proof beyond a reasonable doubt
Burden of proof is who has to prove the case by meeting or exceeding the standard of proof. In a criminal case, it's the prosecution. In a civil case, it's the plaintiff. Standard of proof is the unquantifiable amount of proof that must be shown. In criminal cases, it's beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, it's a preponderance of the evidence.

There are many options for books on ontological arguments at Amazon, including The Many-Faced Argument: Recent Studies on the Ontological Argument for the Existence of God. Barnes and Noble and Borders also offer a selection.
Descartes' proof of God is based on the idea that since he has a clear and distinct idea of God as a perfect being, and since existence is a necessary attribute of perfection, God must exist. In other words, Descartes argues that the very concept of a perfect being necessitates its existence. This proof is known as the ontological argument.
The standard of proof refers to the level of certainty required to prove a claim in court, such as "beyond a reasonable doubt" in criminal cases or "preponderance of the evidence" in civil cases. The burden of proof, on the other hand, is the responsibility of the party making the claim to provide evidence and convince the court of its validity. In essence, the standard of proof sets the bar for how convincing the evidence must be, while the burden of proof determines who has the obligation to meet that standard.
