Ideas, innovations, and inventions are all created from brilliant minds. Descartes believes that God is the cause of new innovations adding, therefore God instilled in us the idea of his existence. An example of his presumption of the existence of God would be the fact that if one cannot imagine a bookshelf without books. Descartes follows by stating that "he cannot conceive God without existence, existence is inseparable from him."

After settling that God exists in his first few passages, Descartes adds that God is the perfect being. It is not a necessity to imagine a perfect being rather a thought that has run through our mind. It is imperative that these characteristics are always attributed to the triangle, likewise the attributes of a perfect being are placed on God.

Descartes second meditation gives a definite certainty for which to use as his foundation to build his beliefs. Then his third meditation proves the existence of God and the external world, while disproving the evil genius theory. That definite certainty that cannot be doubted, is the fact that I exist. Then if there is an idea in our minds that we didn't create, something else created it. If God is more perfect than us, then we could not have created God but God created us. Descartes then wrote about the idea of God. He said that God is infinite and could not have been created by us because God is more perfect than us thus undoubtable and certain. The idea that God exists disproves the Evil Genius theory therefore proves the existence of an external world.

Descartes ends his Meditations by discussing dreams and reality. He believes that our memory and mind cannot connect our lives to the dreams. The reason is that we cannot clearly and distinctly conceive dreams, and of course the fact that God is not a deceiver.

Anslem and Descartes' theories both prove that there is a God and they both use some similar ideas in their premises'. God could not have been conceived if there wasn't a God. Though, Descartes says that the less perfect can not create something more perfect or better than itself, and that we are less perfect than God therefore we could not have created God. So, this proves the existence of God and an external world. In my opinion Descartes has successfully proven the existence
