Which is not a part of Kant's argument for God as a postulate of the moral law?
{ 1 } - Happiness is 'the state of a rational being in the world with whom in the totality of his existence everything goes according to his wish and will.
{ 2 } - The admission of God's existence is an act of knowledge.
{ 3 } - The cause of nature we must postulate must apportion happiness according to law, to the degree to which finite rational beings act morally.
{ 4 } - God must also be conceived as omniscient, as he must know all our inner states, and as omnipotent, because he can make a world in which happiness is proportioned to virtue.
{ 5 } - Happiness depends on the harmony of physical Nature with man's wish and will.
{ 6 } - Since man cannot harmonize Nature with his wish and will, we must postulate 'the existence of a cause of the whole of Nature which is distinct from Nature and which contains the ground of this connection, namely of the exact harmony of happiness with morality'.
{ 7 } - The being that apportions happiness according to moral action, because it acts according to the conception of law, is rational, and his causality is his will; this is God.
