If you are going to allow any quantity, X, to exist without needing to be created, or to support without needing to be supported, then should you a) not knowing what X is, call it God; b) not knowing what X is, start with the assumption that it is the universe itself?

I'm not a huge fan of Occam's razor, but adding variables for no good reason seems like a bad idea.
