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 J.
