Quote by: samsara15 If any kind of answer, however weak it be, does not invoke the existence of God and/or supernatural agents, then for me, it is automatically more likely than answers that do require the existence or intervention of supernatural/divine agents. Therefore evolution, even if it has flaws, is the only plausible answer, as far as I am concerned. |
OK. Occam's Razor. "One should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything" (William of Ockham, 1285-1349). In other words, "plurality should not be assumed without necessity." Thus, if naturalistic explanations are sufficient to explain a phenomenon, the supernatural explanations are unnecessary. It is understandable that William of Ockham (a Franciscan friar) was unpopular with the church hierarchy. However, he is thought to have died of the Black Death.
