b"Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time - Voltaire\\nIn this episode, we look at St. Anselm's ontological argument for the existence of God put forth in 1077. The version we examine is Alvin Plantinga's because it is better structured for discussion. It seeks to prove the existence of God through deductive argument using a reductio ad absurdum form of argument. This argument can also be seen as an extension of our discussion of Descartes, and his efforts to prove the existence of God through deductive argument, as well as Plato's view of the good. In the next episode, we will examine some critiques of this argument.\\nAlways feel free to let us know what you think, or any episode requests. We would love to hear from you!\\nThank you for listening and we'll see you next time as we search for truth on the road that never ends!"
