If he is able to think, he must be. Then Descartes will try to prove that material objects must exist, but to do so he feels he would have to prove that a God exists. Descartes' attempt to prove there is a God is pretty weak one (Descartes' weak argument does not in anyway disprove a god but simply shows that he has some homework to do). He will say, because the idea of a god is this perfect being and becuase humans are imperfect, there is no way for humands to be capable of forming the idea of a god, so a god must exist because only a god could put that idea in our head.
