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 (10[1])this entity was inspired by kalam (10[1])philosophers. (10[1])In the book On Behalf of the Fool, this entity is compared to a “lost island” by Gaunilo to parody (-5[1])a claim made in the Proslogion. Al-Ghazali held the occasionalist view that this entity caused everything. The premise (10[1])that existing in reality is greater than existing in the mind appears in Anselm’s ontological argument for this maximally great entity’s existence. (10[1])For 10 points, name this entity whose existence is denied by atheists. ■END■ (10[1])
