    Occam's Razor's a philosophy and often inapplicable to science.

    So you're saying if we can't see the event it's suddenly perfectly plausible that more complex explanations are more likely than simple ones?

    its nothing to do with seeing... its to do with having no knowledge of what came proir to the universe and not encountering anything within this universe that would be able to indicate what caused it to come into existence.

    Do you understand yet?

    You don't have to see the event to know that a very complex explanation for it is less likely to be correct than a simple one though.

    Occam's razor isn't even a rule- so it's equally plausible that complex explanations are more likely than simple ones and vice versa.

    How come?

    You're basing this on the evolution model which exists in this universe, the laws of nature which constructed evolution may not exist outside this universe

    I wouldn't be as arrogant in the future Andy, as you clearly don't grasp the most basic of scientific understanding and when you persistantly mock someones beliefs you end up looking a complete tool when you make such a fundamental error.

    Just accept you made a mistake and try not to be so arrogant in future.
