Strengths and Weaknesses of the Ontological Argument
Strengths
Deductive and Analytic
a priori
It appeals to scientific people
If you agree with the original statement, 'God is Greater than everything' (paraphrased quote) it is logical.
Starting Point, definition is understandable to everyone.
Then you have to agree or disagree with it.
Weaknesses
If you do not agree with the statement, The Argument, it falls apart.
No evidence that God exists
If you can define it doesn't means it exists.
Russell/Kant
You have to proof that something exists before you add exist as a quality/predicate of them.
Process Theodicy believers
Just because you imagine something (like unicorns/island) doesn't mean it exists
