So premise 4 is false. An existing handicap can only be possessed to an existing being, but premise is all about non-existing being. Therefore premise 5 will also fail. World is the creation of a existent being, we can think a greater being that does not exist. But it is not possible for a non-existing being to create a world. No one can think about that. Premise 5 and premise 6 are co-related. So if 5 is not true then 6 will also be false. We can’t think about a creation created by non-existing being. Although some points of this argument make sense but premise 4 is absolutely incorrect. So this argument is not good against the God existence. There are also some problems about the words used in this argument like- marvellous, incredible, formidable, merit etc. He should use words like greatness, greatest etc. We can give the example- let us take the premise 1 and use greatest in place of marvellous. World is the greatest achievement imaginable is more plausible than world is the marvellous achievement imaginable. So Douglas’s argument does not seem parallel to Anselm’s argument. So it is just wrong to say Douglas’s argument provides a contradiction to Anselm’s
