This argument holds that the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness is evidence for the existence of God because it is best explained by the existence of a conscious, unembodied mind. Here is the original text with some minor changes for clarity and readability. In his book Consciousness and the Existence of God, philosopher J.P. Moreland presents a case for the existence of God based on the phenomenon of finite, irreducible consciousness. He argues that the existence of consciousness, or its consistent correlation with physical states, constitutes strong evidence for the existence of a divine being. Furthermore, Moreland critiques the leading alternative explanations for the origin of consciousness, including the views of John Searle, Timothy O'Connor, Colin McGinn, David Skrbina, and Philip Clayton. Ultimately, Moreland concludes that these rival approaches are flawed and that his own "Argument from Consciousness" provides the most compelling explanation for the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness. According to this argument, the existence of God provides the best explanation for the existence of conscious, unembodied minds.
