-====== Summary ======
-The Transcendental Argument for God is often treated as a singular argument for God but it is more so a type of
-argument the same way cosmological arguments and ontological arguments are types of arguments. They have been
-popularized in recent times by presuppositional apologists such as Van Til, Clark, and Bahnsen, but transcendental
-arguments for God can be seen prior in some of  the works of the idealists including the transcendental idealist
-Immanuel Kant (//The Only Possible Argument...// Kant 1763) and the Absolute Idealist Josiah Royce
-(//The Religious Aspect of Philosophy//, Royce 1885). The form of the argument is as such:
-  - God is the necessary precondition for X
-  - X
-  - Therefore God exists
-It's important to note that transcendental arguments have been made for things other than God, but for our intents
-and purposes we will focus our attention on arguments for God. X varies depending on the particular argument being
-made. Some substitutions for X include knowledge, existence, values, error, predication, logic, language, thought
-mathematics, possibility, an external world, etc. This is not an exhaustive list.

-Notes:
-Transcendental Arguments (Stroud 1968), I have read this paper a couple times and will provide Stroud's argument
-against the structure and form all transcendental arguments which entails the transcendental arguments for God.
