What about Gaunilo's island?

To be fair, the ontological argument IS the weakest one and I'm not a fan of it. I just presented it as an option, but it is generally not hard to criticise.

Without any further explanation, I do also find the cosmological argument highly dubious. It describes the limits of what a person can intuitively imagine, very much not what modern mathematics or physics are capable of describing (both the conclusion that you can't work with infinities and that you can't have a starting or ending event.) Numerous things that we know with much more certainty to be true work outside of the limits of human imagination, but rather work through the same abstract mathematical and physical rules that would allow those things. Think speed being non-additive, or gravity curving the shortest path between two points.
