Ontological Argument and Deductive Reasoning

The ontological argument is a type of deductive argument.
In a deductive argument, the truth of the premises logically entails the truth of the conclusion, meaning that if the premises are true, the conclusion must necessarily be true.
In a deductive argument, the relationship between the premises and the conclusion is such that if the premises are true, the conclusion cannot be false.
The main concern related to the truth of deductive arguments is the truth of their premises, as the conclusion is guaranteed to be true if the premises are true.
