Quote by: Blanh Starboy - i cant believe you cant comprehend this. I am going to dumb this down as best i can. When i am speaking of ockhams razor, i am referring to the idea that it is much more reasonable to explain something naturally, if you can, rather than invoking a supernatural unknown. I really dont see how we can possibly be arguing about this. |
So now Ockham's razor's primary use is for preferring natural explanations over supernatural explanations? I think we are getting to the heart of your reasons for thinking Ockham's is important. It is very funny. You use it as a magical incantation against magical thinkers. As I pointed out to you on numerous occasions the theists can also use it to prefer supernatural explanations over natural explanations. Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder.
