Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided. These statements form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these statements.
A. The general principle from which it derives its strength is this: we cannot negate a non-entity whatsoever, and hence if we negate God significantly, we are bound to accept His 'entitative existence.'
B. One of the important arguments offered by the Nyaya-Vaisesika Theism to prove their thesis, e.g., 'God is' can be rephrased as follows: God exists, because to deny His existence is to affirm Him as God. The argument is significant.
C. To put it in the technical language of the Naiyayika, in all negations that we can speak of, the negatum (pratiyogin) cannot be a nonentity (alika).
D. The principle contains the seed of an interesting problem of ontology, which has also been reflected in the old Platonic riddle of non-being.
