Well. Depends on what you mean by a model being right or wrong. One is certainly simpler than the other, but is one wrong because of that?

Google Occam's Razor . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Sure, Occam's Razor certainly tells us that without additional information, the simpler model is to be preferred.

And God said unto Moses: Ye shall prefer those explanations which, with the least assumptions, have the greatest explanatory pow... wait, no, scratch that! They might get stupid ideas!

It would have nipped LDS in the bud.

I suppose applying the scientific method to religion would have corrupted science . . . .

Whatever the issue was, it was resolved with a reboot.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
