They are also missing a key aspect of Ockham’s Razor: that if two different explanations of a question are supported by the evidence equally well, then it is the simpler explanation which is invariably correct.
It is the equality of the evidence (and it’s ability to survive all attempts at disproof) which is the keystone to making this quote accurate. If there are two explanations but one utilizes real-world evidence that consistently survives all attempts at disproof, and the other makes an appeal to a higher power, then these explanations aren’t even on the same level - there is only one explanation that is actually in play: the one backed by Science. The other one can be disregarded entirely out of hand.
