Your Question:

how do i make sense of this?

Answer:

I must admit, I'm not sure I fully grasp the concept you're presenting. As a pastor, I'm more used to discussing the meaning of life and faith, rather than abstract philosophical ideas. However, I'll try to break it down and offer some insight.

It seems to me that the argument is suggesting that something that exists in our understanding is also greater than something that doesn't exist. But how can we make sense of a nonexistent being? It's a bit like trying to imagine a world without the Chicago Cubs - it's hard to conceive of a reality without them. But I suppose that's the point - the argument is trying to get us to think about the nature of existence and what it means for something to exist.

I'm reminded of the concept of possible worlds, where we consider different scenarios and outcomes. As a father, I've often thought about the possibilities for my children's futures - what if Joshua decides to pursue a career in baseball, or what if Rebecca becomes a great artist? But in this context, the idea of possible worlds is being used to explore the nature of existence and what it means for something to exist in our understanding. I'm not sure I fully understand the implications, but I'm eager to learn more.
