Abstract

Abstract:

Gödel's proof for the existence of God is outlined. Then, a simple criticism of the assumptions of this demonstration is proposed, correct within its formal language. Criticism questions the truth of some of the premises or axioms that Gödel takes into account as the basis for his demonstration. Finally, Gödel's God is characterized in contrast to Anselm's God.
