Of course there's no way to prove that the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist, that's the whole point of the flying spaghetti monster.
- wolfgke 10y ago> that's the whole point of the flying spaghetti monster and a point illustrating empirical science: If we don't have strong evidence that something holds, by Occam's razor we should not assume that is holds.
- bordercases 10y agoWhen should you start collecting evidence then? Wouldn't Occam's Razor make you halt at the outset of the process?
- Karunamon 10y agoOccam's is an abstraction, and a leaky one at that. It is not a hard and fast rule and should not be evaluated as such.
