Atheism 7. God defeats Occam's Razor

Creationsts and mystics often ask why a scientific view should be preferred or say that one view requires just as much faith as the other. This is not so. Someone who reasons,does so by requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt- and in the first place should assume nothing to be the case. The dictate of Occam's Razor says that the simplest explanation should be preferred - and the scientific explanation outlaws any subjective preferences on the part of the person who is supposed to be reasoning. Creationist and mystical ideas often presume things to be the case - ie that God exists and it is up to scientists to prove them wrong- or that insufficient doubt has been cast upon their belief in order for them to give it up - this is inverted thinking - one should not PRESUME God exists or anything else - but proceed by positively linking evidence by Occam's Razor to show what MUST be the case REGARDLESS of what one wishes to believe. So those people who say "Scientific explanations takes the biscuit - do they expect us to believe the world came to be from a hot dense cloud?" should understand that it is not a matter of personal credibility - no one expects them to BELIEVE anything- they are supposed to UNDERSTAND why what is said MAKES SENSE and that it is the ONLY viable explanation that is supported by tested evidence. A God only needlessly complicates the issue: If we presume a God,then we have to ask all the same questions about that as we did the universe - and God is more complicated entity than a universe - and we have no capacity to test him - he is a cul-de-sac in reason and explains NOTHING - it is also entirely amazing that he happens to be semi-human - when there is every likelihood that there are other beings in the universe unlike us. Creationists and mystics defy basic logic when it comes to their views and seem unable to see why they MUST have to comply with such things rather than just holding onto what they believe to be the case.
