It is shown that, even if only falsification is considered as a result of empirical test of theory, its objective status must include inductive steps. The inclusion results from the impossibility of purely deductive transfer of the test from the level of the language of a theory to the level of statements directly decidable by observation.

In the light of Kant's critique, the so-called 'ontological argument', purporting to prove God's existence out of the notion of Him, must of necessity contain a 'petitio principii'. This is true not only of Anselm's original argument and Leibniz's improved version of it, but also of its contemporary formalized versions. Apart from the weak points of the original argument, they usually contain some faults of their own. On the other hand, their inevitable failures undermine the authority of reason. Thus, it seems advisable to give up such futile attempts.
