'"How on EARTH can you use Occam's razor to get to God?" I donst ggot no fancy book lernin, like yall. Take a little kid out on a starry night, have them look up at the stars and then ask them how do you think all this got here. The answer will most probably be God made it. That is the most simple explanation. Greg ' That is NOT the simplest explanation. You are wrong and so you retreat into using what CHILDREN think as proof? That is pathetic. I'm sorry you don't have any good arguments, but descending into idiocy isn't going to win you any points.

Re: Take a little kid out on a starry night, have them look up at the stars and then ask them how do you think all this got here. The answer will most probably be God made it. That is the most simple explanation. How touching! It almost brought tears to my eyes.... HEY, after you've taken your little rascal for a starry ride show him the video on HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI.... show him the nuked cities and the casualties.... and then go on to some Auschwitz shots.... and only then, ask him "how do you think all this got here?"

The answer will most probably be God made it. That is the most simple explanation. That works until you magnify it. Then you get more detail. Increase magnification. More detail. Look in what I call God's Armpit (or other bodily location), the least dense area of our galactic neighborhood, what do you see? More detail made of more detail. Ad infinitum. I have no reason to believe it ends. Now with the microwave survey of the sky, even at the instant of the Big Bang, more detail. It may be easier to say that God made it, but understand it is a highly limited explanation in terms of specifics, if simultaneously a pretty good holistic one. Doesn't fit well with the Biblical one (at least for me).
