• Sommario/riassunto: In Consciousness and the Existence of God , JP Moreland&nbsp;argues that the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness (or its regular, law-like correlation with physical states) provides evidence for the existence of God. Considering Searle's contingent correlation, O'Connor's emergent necessitation, and Nagel's mysterian &quot;naturalism,&quot; Moreland concludes that these versions of naturalism should be rejected in favor of what he calls&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;the Argument from Consciousness.&quot
