The existence of Almighty has often been a matter of debate. Many scholars and philosophers have been trying to prove that God exists. There are several theories, modern and traditional, that tend to explain that God exists. However, none of the theories have enough evidence that supports their claims. From an ontological perspective, the theory tends to argue that people believe in the Almighty, who cannot be compared with anything else. From this premise, the Almighty must indeed be omnipresent. If that extraordinary being is God, then God must be in existence (Klass & Weisgrau, 1999).
However, this argument is based on abstract ideas. The greatest being the theory is talking about is theoretical. To claim that something exists because of people’s beliefs is erroneous. The same argument can indeed be advanced for any other thing besides God (Klass & Weisgrau, 1999). It is because other marvelous things that cannot be conceived can either be an object or not specifically God, as the argument claims.
Further, to argue that this magnificent thing exists is a presupposition. Critically, something that exists must be seen or felt. It must be proven that it is there unquestionably. Therefore, to describe the extraordinary thing (God) as existing, yet it cannot be proved is a presupposition or an assumption. Because this argument lacks tangible proof on its claims, it cannot be used to assert that God exists. The arguments presented do not imply that the Almighty is nonexistent (Klass & Weisgrau, 1999). Rather, the arguments advanced by the ontological view do not provide clear proof that God exists.
