Godel's proof is just a formal logic version of Augustine proof, which has been disproven. Here's the "proof": God is perfect, all perfect things must exist, therefore God exists Which is easily refuted by observing that the statement merely shows that either a perfect God exists or it does not. The fact that one can posit a perfect God does not make it real. Even a kid can understand that. |

In any event I think Gödel's proof is worth understanding simply as a nice example of modal logic and the power of formalisms. Anselm's informal attempt at a proof is famously unreadable.
