[quote=Anonymous]Occam's razor has been brought up by several nonbelievers as if it is definitive proof that God does not exist.  As Inigo Montoya says in The Princess Bride, "You keep on saying that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."

OR is itself a theory about shifting the burden of proof between hypotheses.  It is not an incontrovertible law of physical science.  It is itself a hypothesis, and an often misunderstood one at that.

The author of this hypothesis was a Catholic priest and logician who believed in God.

It gets amusing to watch nonbelievers state that ANY alternative hypothesis of creation MUST be more plausible than God, because God is impossible.  So an infinity of successive universes, a "spontaneous creation" of everything from nothing for no reason, a black hole...all of these things are more plausible than an Uncaused Cause.

OK, if that is your faith, I can respect your free will to believe as you will.  I just hope you don't decide to form a society based on that premise.  Those societies have not worked out so well for the people living in them. [/quote]
