The ontological argument is based on God as a perfect being.
St. Anselm defines God as that than which nothing greater can be conceived, and Descartes as a supremely perfect being.

Everything turns on the concept of perfection.
Creator of the world and unmoved mover belong to the cosmological arguments, which start from the existence or motion of the world. Necessary being figures in the argument from contingency, though later versions of the ontological argument also use it; the classical argument starts from perfection.
