Considering Searle's contingent correlation, O'Connor's emergent necessitation, and Nagel's mysterian "naturalism," Moreland concludes that these versions of naturalism should be rejected in favor of what he calls  "the Argument from Consciousness."Routledge studies in the philosophy of religion ;4.ConsciousnessNaturalismTheismConsciousness.Naturalism.Theism.212/.1Moreland James Porter1948-859521MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777488003321Consciousness and the existence of God3834653UNINA
