- The nonexistence of a perfect God is ultimately inexplicable.
- No part of reality is ultimately inexplicable.
- If (1) and (2), then it is not the case that a perfect God does not exist.
- Therefore, a perfect God exists.
Note that a mere argument for the nonexistence of a perfect God does not necessarily qualify as an ultimate explanation of the nonexistence of such a God. Consider the following argument:
- If evil exists, then God does not exist.
- Evil exists.
- Therefore, God does not exist.
Since this argument offers us no explanation of why evil exists, it fails to provide us with an ultimate explanation of God’s nonexistence.
