چکیده
Abstract Much of historic Christian philosophical theology has affirmed that God not only exists, but is Existence itself. Nowadays, this claim widely rejected as unintelligible by theists and non-theists alike. I argue in contrast if there such a thing itself, must be maximally excellent being, which what many philosophers call God. This because would itself need to exist, possible exists paradigmatic way, is, perfect instance existence. My argument thus offers both defence the coherence new way arguing for theism.

At any rate, there are many ways the world could be without me, or even without anybody like me. It is, in this sense, possible that I do not exi...
