Abstract: Humans are conscious beings – they have mental events – sensations, thoughts, and intentions. Science might one day produce a list of correlations between mental and brain events, but it is immensely improbable that science would ever be able to explain why a particular mental event was correlated with a particular brain event, or with any event at all. Theism can explain this in terms of God choosing to being about certain kinds of mental life. By contrast, moral truths being in essence necessary truths, have no possible grounds for a good argument to God.
