Of *course* God exists. Haven't you ever heard of Mulder's Razor?
Jon Gabriel replied:
A google search for the term 'Mulder's Razor' turned up lotsa slash fan fiction on the X-Files. I don't recall the term being used onlist and don't have it saved in my archive -- can anyone explain?Occam's Razor:
per http://hepweb.rl.ac.uk/ppUK/PhysFAQ/occam.html
The most useful statement of the principle for
scientists is, "when you have two competing theories
which make exactly the same predictions, the one that
is simpler is the better."
Mulder's Razor:
For any given situation, the most likely explanation is the one that involves alien abduction, vampirism, ghosts, crop circles, the Jersey Devil, or some other form of unexplained or paranormal phenomenon. :-)
