ST. ANSELM'S ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT FOR THE EXPERIENCE OF GOD.

God's existence may vary from philosopher to philosopher, but according to the late St.
Anselm, 
Archbishop of Canterbury there was absolutely no doubt that God's presence is certain,
and yet the 
philosopher desires the understanding of faith. As stated; if god cannot be thought to
exist, then 
whomever which may be conceived, only a fool would believe that he God does not exist.
Only a fool says from his or her heart there is no God, was the largest idea discussed in
the 
presentation quoted by Anselm. It is one thing for an object to be in the understanding,
and another 
to understand that objects exist, he both, has it in has understanding and he understands
that it exists 
because he has made it. There is not a doubt that there exists a being, than which
nothing greater 
can be conceived. And it exists both in the understanding and in reality, then, so truly
than a being 
which nothing greater can be conceived to exist, our God? If a mind could conceive of a
being 
better then thee, the creature would rise above the Creator; and this is absurd. God can
be 
conceived to not exist; but in the later, not at all. For example, no one who understands
what God 
is can conceive that God does exist; God is that than which a greater cannot be
conceived. The nonexistence of that than which a greater cannot be conceived is
inconceivable.
Gaunilo's argumentative criticism claims that in the dual existence, with understanding
and in 
reality, for this reason it must exist. For if it does not exist, any lord who really
exists will be more 
excellent than God. If man should try to prove to that his existence should no longer be
doubted 
and me by such reasoning that God exists, for he ought to show first that the
hypothetical 
excellence of God exists as a real and indubitable being or spirit, or one whose
existence is uncertain in our understanding.
