    Because I can't stop watching them, I've now run into multiple Flat Earth/anti-science videos that use a definition of Occam's Razor to say it's the "theory that requires the fewest assumptions" and since creationism only requires one assumption ("God did it") it's the simplest.

        As with others who run this beat, I'm deeply fascinated at the way these groups try to both reject the validity of science while coopting the prestige, insisting that, like, gravity isn't "real science" while them screaming "mirage!" at a boat disappearing over the horizon is.

        I get really entranced by the arguments that try really really hard to not sound like TV preachers screaming about profane idols, so they'll argue that "science is a religion" (implied bad) but that's placed right alongside uncut religion.

        Every now and then they're right in a stopped clock kinda way, hitting on the way that there's a cultural aesthetic of science, an elevation of the trappings of science, that is divorced from actual science and is a gateway to pseudoscience. Think IFL Science or most of Reddit.

        Because, like, Scientism is absolutely a thing. A fixation on bunsen burners and lab coats and Epic Debunkings and pop science personalities that is absolutely tied up in the identity of being science-adjacent.

        But, ya know, there's a wide gulf between actual problems stemming from Scientism and our boy "hold on I'm taking a hit" screaming about Interstellar being "the holy book of the church of gravity"

        "A wizard did it" is the only assumption required for any situation and therefore always true 👍

        I mean, that's not really true, since we also need to assume that magic is real, that it is capable of doing the thing we're saying it did, and each of those assumptions carries even more, but this is kind of the entire problem with invoking Occam's Razor in the first place
