According to the principle called ‘Occam’s razor,’ when faced with two opposing explanations for the same set of evidence, our minds will naturally prefer the explanation that makes the fewest assumptions.
So if an event or process can be explained without an extra
or superficial element, our minds will naturally shave that element away using
Occam’s razor.
The explanation that makes the fewest assumptions and yet
still accounts for all the evidence one has is the one that the mind will
naturally accept.
SOMETHING MAY BE POSSIBLE; BUT WITHOUT EVIDENCE, THERE IS NO
RATIONAL MOTIVATION TO BELIEVE IT.
The same is true for God—if everything that one thinks is
true about God is NOT explainable through natural evidence then there becomes NO
rational motivation to believe that there is a god.
So, THERE IS NO RATIONALLY MOTIVATING EVIDENCE TO BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS A GOD.
