(1) If the Christian God exists, GodWorld is the Best Possible World
P1: If the Christian God exists, then GodWorld is the unique Best Possible World.

Why think this premise should be true given the way that Max concieves of God? Well, if God exists, remember he is the best possible being – meaning he has those great-making properties to their maximal compossible degrees and no such properties to any lessor degree. Now, a WORLD composed entirely of the single best possible being existing alone for eternity would be a WORLD composed entirely of all those great-making properties to their maximal compossible degrees and no such properties to any lessor degree – Now, unless there is some source of unique Goodness – Goodness that exists outside of and fully independent of God then GodWorld must be the unique best possibe world. it is the richest and, quite literally , the godliest of all possible worlds and since no other world can compare, it is the unique best possible world .
