Moreland argues that the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness (or its regular, law-like correlation with physical states) provides evidence for the existence of God. Moreover, he analyzes and criticizes the top representative of rival approaches to explaining the origin of consciousness, including John Searle₂s contingent correlation, Timothy O₂Connor₂s emergent necessitation, Colin McGinn₂s mysterian "₁naturalism, "₂ David Skrbina₂s panpsychism and Philip Clayton₂s pluralistic emergentist monism. Moreland concludes that these approaches should be rejected in favor of what he calls "the Argument from Consciousness."₂.
