Anselm's proof, which was never the "ontological argument" attributed to him, emerges as engaging with current philosophical issues concerning existence and scientific explanation. Because every observable thing has a beginning, it can be deduced that there is always in reality something than which a greater cannot be thought, which exists necessarily. It follows that its non-existence is inconceivable. Anselm then proves that this is the God in whom he believes, who alone so truly exists that He could not be thought not to exist. The contingent nature of the universe is therefore a consequence of the proven belief that God is the Creator of everything else"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAnselm studies and texts ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aGod$xProof, Ontological 606 $aGod$xProof, Cosmological 606 $aGod (Christianity)$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 615 0$aGod$xProof, Ontological. 615 0$aGod$xProof, Cosmological. 615 0$aGod (Christianity)$xHistory of doctrines 676 $a189.4 700 $aCampbell$b Richard$g(Richard James),$f1939-$01613684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910809405103321 996 $aA cosmological reformulation of Anselm's proof that God exists$93943113 997 $aUNINA
