I just had my philosophy mid-term, which I studied really hard for and did poorly on, so here is Anselm's proof of god (straight from memorization I might add):
1. God is defined as greater than anything conceived.
2. God exists as an idea
3. An idea that also has reality is greater than just an idea
4. God must have reality because it is greater than any idea.
5. Therefore god exists.
Although I'm not really into logical proofs, it's still interesting. Basically the way I see it is that we are the ultimate proof of god. If we were not here to think about it/observe it, god wouldn't exist.
