Occam's razor
#2
RE: Occam's razor
I am somewhat surprised that no one has jumped in on this one!  (I was waiting for one of the "Christians among Us" to do so!)  But, hey, here's my point in posting this -- if theists are going to reject polytheism because it supposedly violates Occam's razor, why criticize atheists for rejecting theism, deism, etc., for having violated Occam's razor, also?!  After all, why not explain the unknown in terms of the known?  Why appeal at all to some phenomenon outside of Nature when there are perfectly good hypotheses within Nature?
