Reply #213: Actually, God is a unnecessary positing of plurality. [View All]

Evolution and origins of life are adequately explained without the addition of a "uprovable being".

Occam's razor, which was originally stated as plurality should not be posited without necessity would mean that the "God" idea to explain evolution, is not only an unnecessary idea to science, it's a totally unprovable one.

Or to put it another way: We don't understand the mechanism of action that causes gabapentin's anticonvulsant activity.

I would be laughed out of the room if I proposed that a "diety" was responsible for the anticonvulsant activity.

I don't think anyone would suggest that neurontin is a magical "god pill" that only works because of an unprovable diety and be taken seriously.

However, if I followed your logic, instead of trying to find out how neurontin causes its effects, I could just leave it at "God makes it happen" and that would be the simplest explanation.

That's neither scientific nor smart.
