The nature of God as a necessary being

The podcast discusses the concept of a necessary being and how it differs from a brute fact. It is argued that a necessary being, such as God, exists by the necessity of its own nature and that its non-existence is impossible. This is in contrast to a brute fact, which has no explanation. The speaker explains that God's existence is not just a brute fact, but rather a metaphysically necessary being that explains the existence of all contingent beings, including the universe.
