TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Doomsday, bishop ussher and simulated worlds JO - Ratio A1 - Richmond, Alasdair M. SP - 201 EP - 217 VL - 21 IS - 2 N2 - This paper attempts three tasks in relation to Carter and Leslie's Doomsday Argument. First, it criticises Timothy Chambers' ‘Ussherian Corollary’, a striking but unsuccessful objection to standard Doomsday arguments. Second, it reformulates the Ussherian Corollary as an objection to Bradley Monton's variant Doomsday and Nick Bostrom's Simulation Argument. Finally, it tries to diagnose the epistemic/metaphysical problems facing Doomsday-related arguments.1
