Occam's razor
#7
RE: Occam's razor
And Pilot Wave Theory could become the more parsimonious explanation if evidence was discovered that supported it, and then the Copenhagen interpretation would have to be re-worked to account for the new evidence, which could easily result in it becoming the less parsimonious explanation.

Meanwhile, people are criticizing ideas of the multiverse based on extra universes being unnecessary entities when multiple universes are necessary implication of certain cosmological hypotheses which fit the evidence and for which the math works. The extra universe are not 'explanatory entities', but it has been noted that if they are the case, the fine-tuning argument for intelligent universe design doesn't work.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
