"Further, it is superfluous to suppose that what can be accounted for by a few principles has been produced by many. But it seems that everything we see in the world can be accounted for by other principles, supposing God did not exist. For all natural things can be reduced to one principle which is nature; and all voluntary things can be reduced to one principle which is human reason, or will. Therefore there is no need to suppose God's existence."
When wielding parsimonious razors, amateurs are advised to wear gloves.
however, invoking methodological naturalism to dismiss God as a causal explanation for natural phenomena is not good science. after all, what if it turns out that God really did design the information-rich DNA structures of life?
