Atheist cries Occam’s Razor. That’s middle age thinking to choose simple explanations when the explanations may demand very complex answers. So Occam’s Razor is not a good tool to deal with complex realities just pick the simplest answer, yeah right, reality is much more complex than we can imagine but we are suppose to choose the simplest explanation? Give me a break.
By the way, If science cant prove or disprove Gods existence why insist on choosing one side or another?
"All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best"
So which seems simpler:
The universe was created when two, three-dimensional membranes collided in the four dimensional bulk, causing the big bang and the imperfections in the resulting membrane that manifested into the current universe which is actually just one 11 dimensional membrane that manifests itself as microscopic strings that vibrate at different frequencies to appear as matter...
Occam's razor is just a tool that can help explain things. The answer of course to your question is "no". Neolithic man watched the sun rise in the east pass overhead and set in the west. He would never have noticed the 900 mph spin of the earth. Applying Occam's razor would have led a fast thinking caveman to think that the sun did indeed revolve around the earth. Occam's razor cannot make up for lack of evidence or reliable data. It's just one rule of thumb that helps decipher observations.
LOL, my real YouTube account is "ockhamrazor." Good job on this! XD
I always tell theists, "remember kids, eat your wheaties and know your logical fallacies" or "shave with Ockham's Razor." (Wheaties is an American breakfast item)

Of course, William of Occam WAS a Franciscan Monk.

Too bad we can't eat the 'Total' knowledge of the universe because we're not that good yet.
