The Existence Of God

... who “says in his heart, ‘There is no God.' This fool though is convinced that something exists in the understanding, at least, than which nothing greater can be conceived. (pg. 149) In proving God’s existence I have combined Malcolm, Anselm, and Descartes’ theories of how God exists. This is it: 1.
