105 See for example, C.A. Campbell, ‘Is “Freewill” a Pseudo-Problem?’,Mind,
60 (1951), 441 – 65. For reference to controversy about this between Campbell
and myself see J.J.C. Smart, Our Place in the Universe (Oxford: Blackwell, 1989),
ch. 6.

Cambridge University Press, 1992).
108 Using somewhat different reasoning John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler have
concluded that we are probably alone in our galaxy. Still, there are a lot of
galaxies, and so we could be far from alone in the universe. See Barrow and
Tipler,The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1986),
ch. 9.
109 See E.L. Mascall, Christian Theology and Natural Science (London: Longman,
Green, 1957), p. 43.

114 Reply to Hughes and Rainer in Flew and MacIntyre, op. cit. See also the
original reply to Findlay by Rainer. Rainer thinks that we know God’s necessity
by analogy and only God himself directly apprehends this. Findlay thinks that
this is stretching the doctrine of analogy a bit far.
