2) necessarily if God exists then it is necessarily the case God exists


3) it is possibly the case God exists


C) God exists of necessity


Let:


G!= God exists

□(p⊃q)⊃(◇p⊃◇q). Theorem of K.


Proof:


1)~□G!⊃□~□G!

2)□(G!⊃□G!)

3)◇G!

4)~□~□G!⊃~~□G!                    (1, Contra.)

5)◇□G!⊃□G!                               (4, ME, DN)

6)□(G!⊃□G!)⊃(◇G!⊃◇□G!).     (2, Theorem)

7)◇G!⊃◇□G!                               (2,6 MP)

8)◇G⊃□G!                                   (5,7 HS)

9)□G!                                            (3,8 MP)
