Occam's razor: BIV, matrix and other sceptical scenarios are
always more complex, and therefore less likely than "things are
the way they seem to be"
Could you please tell what a hypothesis you consider as less
complex?
As for Occam's razor. Let us consider the statement "The God has
created everything". Is this more or less complex as compared with
the modern scientific view?
It is more complex than, "Things originated naturally." If you try to
fill in the details to the same degree in each you have to first
fill in all the details of "Things originated naturally." and *then*
all the details of how God decided on doing that and how He executed
his plan.
Okay, but what then about the next two statements: "A car originated
naturally" and "A car has been made according to the plan". What
statement is more complex?
You tell me. I don't consider Occam's razor the arbiter of truth.
