Question

A “victorious” argument that extended a claim concerning this entity to other possible worlds was formulated by Alvin Plantinga. William Lane Craig’s formalization of a claim concerning this entity (10[1])was inspired by (10[1])kalam (10[1])philosophers. In the book On Behalf of the Fool, this entity is compared to a “lost island” by Gaunilo (10[1])to parody a claim made in the Proslogion. Al-Ghazali held the occasionalist view that this entity caused everything. (10[2])The premise that existing in reality is greater than existing in the mind appears in Anselm’s ontological argument (10[1])for this (10[1])maximally great entity’s existence. For (10[1])10 points, name this entity whose existence is denied by atheists. ■END■
