    1. Something can not come from nothing.
    2. The cause of an idea must have at least as much formal reality as the idea has objective reality.
    3. I have in me an idea of God. This idea has infinite objective reality.
    4. I cannot be the cause of this idea, since I am not an infinite and perfect being. I don't have enough formal reality. Only an infinite and perfect being could cause such an idea.
    5. So God — a being with infinite objective reality — must exist (and be the source of my idea of God).
    6. An absolutely perfect being is a good, benevolent being.
    7. So God is benevolent...
    8. So God would not deceive me, and would not permit me to error without giving me a way to correct my errors.
