Argument Reconstruction
The lord is the one who gives the understanding to faith.
Therefore grant the knowledge to know that what we believe you are is true and that you are
indeed that we believe.( Introduction to philosophy Stanford university)
We are certain that the lord is something than which nothing greater can be achieved.
A stupid person mentioned in his soul that there is no God.
This makes us wonder if there is such any nature.
The same fool however understands when we talk of having nothing that is great that can be
conceived.
Therefore the thing that he understands is based on the doings that he sees but does not base it on
the person that did it.
There is a difference for one to declare that he understands something based only on his own
understanding and not that which is there. (Descartes, René)
We are certain that this same person is sure that nothing great can be conceived through his own
understanding. This is because of the reason that he only understands it when it is mentioned and
the ting that he understands is based on his own thinking and understanding.
Argument Reconstruction_1

It is correct to say therefore that this greater thing which is unconceivable cannot only make
sense based on his understanding.
The fact that it makes sense when it comes to understanding means that it can also be viewed in
reality and therefore it is greater.
Thus if we advance the argument that for one who is great to be understood only in the context of
ones understanding while ignoring other factors, it would be wrong in the sense that that person
has to literally exist in order for him to be great. Therefore it is impossible for one not to exist but
to be viewed as understandable.( Edwards, Rem)
Thus, or anything to be understood as of being great it has to exist and as such one cannot say
that God is great without him existing.
It is therefore absurd to think of God as not existing.
There would be a great confusion if we say that we only understand God on the great things he
has done but not recognize that he is there.
This does not hold water as there is no way one can purport to appreciate the wonders that are
present but fail to embrace the fact that the person doing those things is present.
Therefore it is important to state that the greatness of God is something that no one can even
afford to wish away and thus even think that he does not exist at all.
Thus the Lord our God is so truly that he cannot be thought not to be.
It is totally absurd for some mind to conceive something that is better than you as it would be
rising and judging its creator.
