Reflection on the depths of ontological vision
After reading in your book the discussion of the ontological view that defines God as the greatest conceivable being, it was deduced that he must also exist, otherwise, existence is greater than non-existence, which is a contradiction. Thus, from a purely conceptual analysis, it is possible to arrive at proof of God. However, let us take a step forward in this argument, since the greatest conceivable being must necessarily be devoid of will, since every will shows a lack of desire. Therefore, the fact that the world was created shows that the Creator did have a will, which is necessarily a contradiction.
First of all, in the end, I think the ontological view is not really valid.
Your question is directed towards the assumption of the evidence and not towards the evidence: the assumption that God is perfect.
Regarding this, see my column 170, which is probably not quite perfect.
But the assumption that if he has desires then he is not perfect is not true. Desires can also turn to completing things outside of him. Furthermore, his perfection is that he can fulfill his desires by creating beings like us who will do what is needed. This is his perfection itself.
