      Arthur Chu Retweeted Dan Olson

      This is why the formal phrasing of "Occam's Razor" ("avoid the needless multiplication of entities") is way more valid and applicable than the lay rephrasing of it as "simpler explanations are better"https://twitter.com/FoldableHuman/status/1305554660816642048?s=19 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Dan Olson @FoldableHuman
      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.

      The latter could, after all, mean absolutely anything depending on your opinion of what's "simple"

      Of course there's a certain sense in which a theistic universe is "simpler" than an atheistic one but it's simpler BECAUSE YOU ADDED A WHOLE NEW CATEGORY OF THING ("God") to explain away everything "complicated"

          And the idea of Occam's Razor is to try to minimize the number of special categories of things William of Ockham himself was, of course, a theist and a Christian, but he was trying to keep people from just constantly making up more shit about God and Heaven and angels

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          I'm fine with it being the simplest explanation, really, but it just requires the premise that you only know two things: a.) There's a universe b.) I didn't make this universe. Therefore, someone else probably did. That's fine.

          It's just that we've found out a lot of other stuff to add.
