The Ontological Argument, first proposed by St. Anselm, consists of five propositions:
Anselm's argument, as with similar ontological arguments raised by later theologians, fails because it is not a sound argument.
Bertrand Russell noted that "The argument does not, to a modern mind, seem very convincing, but it is easier to feel convinced that it must be fallacious than it is to find out precisely where the fallacy lies." David Hume demonstrated that fallacy: "[T]here is an evident absurdity in pretending to demonstrate a matter of fact, or to prove it by any arguments a priori. Nothing is demonstrable, unless the contrary implies a contradiction. Nothing, that is distinctly conceivable, implies a contradiction. Whatever we conceive as existent, we can also conceive as non-existent. There is no being, therefore, whose non-existence implies a contradiction. Consequently there is no being, whose existence is demonstrable." Hume was saying that if it is equally possible to conceive the non-existence of God, without a logical contradiction, then the ontological argument fails.
A parody of the ontological argument, that very well proves its absurdity is to to conceive of the greatest, or most perfect, island. As a matter of fact, it is likely that no such island actually exists. However, this argument would then say that we are not thinking of the greatest conceivable island, because the greatest conceivable island would existaccording to the ontological argument, since we can conceive of this greatest or most perfect island. No philosophical argument has ever proven the existence of God.
You cannot prove a negative. In order to prove that something is NOT real you first have to try to prove that it is real and fail. This has been known since the time of Aristotle. So the only proof that you can have of something not being real is a lack of proof of its existence. Not a convincing argument.
No. Any person trained in logic will tell you that 'you cannot prove a negative'. If you want to disprove the existence of fairies you first attempt to try and prove their existence. And the best you can do is to fail to prove it. The option to prove it always exists.
You cannot prove that something doesn't exist. You can only prove that things do exist. It is called the paradox of negative information. You can fail to prove the existence of things and many people would take this as proof of non-existence, but it just isn't so.
A moral argument can fail if it contains logical fallacies or if it is based on false premises. Additionally, the argument may also fail if it lacks clear reasoning or uses faulty moral principles.
A:God probably would have done so if he exists. A God so anxious to be worshipped that he would eternally punish all who fail to do so, would surely have ensured we have real proof of his existence.
The argument for cultural differences can fail because it may oversimplify or stereotype diverse groups of people, ignoring individual variation and complexity within cultures. Additionally, it can perpetuate harmful biases and discrimination based on cultural generalizations.
It is still in existence and, reportedly, their members are warmly received wherever they are assigned.
-To prove someone wrong -To prove something to yourself - To realise your potential -To follow a dream -To not just be pushed into a box -To lead a life filled with stories -To not fail
I fail to see the logic in your argument.
beacause the BIGFOOT is tall. the more taller the more bigger the foot is. and his name is bigfoot..+ the easter bunny is not real.
The defense do not have to prove anything, if the prosecution fail to prove guilt, then the defendant is not guilty (in an ideal world). It may be the case thaat a jury may find guilt when a charge has not really been adequately proved to be true, but in this case the judge must direct them to find "not guilty" through lack of evidence.
