Murphy / Rice - 2028

According to Occam's Razor, if there are multiple explanations for something, it is best to choose the simplest.

Which is simplest?

(a) That a Divine Eternal Being decided one day to create a Universe to contain a small planet with vegetable, animal and human life forms on it and created the planet and an entire vast Universe around it out of nothing at all.

(b)_ That a near infinite quantity of energy, matter and other components have always existed.

It is obvious that (b) is less complicate than (a).

You chose to believe (a) because there is this book you read that claims it is holy, despite claiming that snakes and donkeys once could speak in some human language, and that when character named Jesus said "soon" he was referring to a period in excess of 2000 years.

I do not believe that matter and energy have always existed, but I do believe God has always existed.

I do not believe that matter and energy have always existed, but I do believe God has always existed.

Yeah, but you also believe in talking snakes and donkeys and that Jesus is up there, just a-waiting for the right time to show himself again.
