On The Existence of God: An Ontological Argument From Necessary Truth E is evidence for H if and only if it raises the probability for it to be true. God is a conscious thinking mind. God is an eternal agent and a being that performs actions, is the creator of all, and is the foundation for all knowledge and truth. There must be a necessary being and this has been proven extensively in my other blog articles through different cosmological and ontological arguments. This article will prove that the necessary being must be God through a different type of ontological argument presented by Jake Brancatella in his debate against Aron Ra.   Argument from Necessary Truth:   P1: Necessarily either the Law of Noncontradiction (states that contradictory propositions cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time) is true or it is not. P2: P1 is necessarily true and could not fail to be true. P3: True propositions exist. C1: Therefore, at least one true proposition exists necessa...

Propositions in the mind correspond to objective facts. Objective facts are the truth-makers while propositions are the truth-bearers that represent objective facts. God grounds the propositions as He is the necessary being and all facts are contingent upon Him. If there was no God then there would be nothing to ground truth. If this was the case then truth would begin when the first mind comes into being. Then how does one explain necessary truths like the law of noncontradiction or excluded middle? If there was an eternal mind to ground these truths then these laws would always be true. In other words, if the truth-bearers are propositions and propositions are grounded by minds and if minds have not always existed then truth is not always et...
