أعني بـ«الله» جوهرًا لا متناهيًا، مستقلًّا، عالي العلم، عالي القدرة، وقد خلقني وخلق كلَّ ما [...] هو موجود. وكلّما أمعنتُ النظر في هذه الصفات، بدا أقلّ احتمالًا أن تكون صادرةً عنّي وحدي. ومن ذلك يلزم أن الله موجود بالضرورة.

“By 'God', I understand, a substance which is infinite, independent, supremely intelligent, supremely powerful, and which created both myself and everything else [...] that exists. All these attributes are such that, the more carefully I concentrate on them, the less possible it seems that they could have originated from me alone. So, from what has been said it must be concluded that God necessarily exists.”Rene Descartes
