You are making a couple mistakes here. The first is that you are arguing with a straw man. I never said anything about it being a law. I also never said Occam's razor is science itself - I said that it's a tool to be applied in the scientific domain. The second mistake is that you don't seem to understand Occam's razor - yes, it is a heuristic, to determine which theory to weigh as more likely, due to limited time and scientific resources. Furthermore, the idea behind it is that, all else being equal, including available evidence, you choose the simpler theory. If you had evidence that differentiated the two, you wouldn't need Occam's razor.
