Re: Occam's Razor
The trouble with using this technique in discussion with those who believe in the Christian God is simply that they a priori believe in the existence of an omnipotent being who created the universe, the resurrection of Christ, and the occurrence of miracles. This is not seen as something in need of extraordinarily strong evidence. In fact it needs no evidence atall.
Tbe only people for whom this technique works as an argument are those who not believe in God etc a priori. These are the people who least need it!
