I’m not sure you understand Occam’s Razor. What you are proposing is absolutely not the simplest explanation.

I’m not sure you understand Occam’s Razor. What you are proposing is absolutely not the simplest explanation.
- otabdeveloper4 2y agoWhy not? Whatever your bayesian priors are, they certainly don't match mine.
- Carrok 2y agoPlease provide a simpler explanation than “species begins eating calorically dense food, increasing brain size, and becoming smarter”. Your supposedly simpler explanation must involve an unknown outside intelligence of some kind. I’ll wait.
- iwontberude 2y agoBecause it begs the question, do you have intelligent beings designing intelligent beings all the way down? An infinite regression of writers writing writers?
- claysmithr 2y agoNo, you just have one God who created everything and has always existed.
- iwontberude 2y agoWho created God then? And if not, how does that square with anything observable in the universe? Energy and matter don’t come from nothing.
- otabdeveloper4 2y agoPresumably "God" was always there, like matter and energy and information. At least that is the classical and accepted notion of "God" since antiquity.
