Who’s The Smartest?

And the Lord said:
“Because this people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
therefore, behold, I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”

(Isaiah 29:13-14) NKJV

Occam’s razor is cited as a reason why the heliocentric theory triumphed over Geocentrism, because it was too complicated to diagram the motion of the stars that we watch from the Earth. Bear that in mind.

The planetary and stellar system which astrologers GAVE UP trying to model is the one that we can watch every day. In contrast, it was very simple to draw a diagram which had the sun at the center because this isn’t observed, it’s purely theoretical.

There is a major problem here which Occam conveniently provided an excuse to ignore: we observe that the motions of the myriad bodies in the cosmos are too complicated for us to figure out. See that? We’re on Earth observing (empirically Geocentrospheric) and it’s too complicated to figure out. That means God is much smarter than we are.

If we can simplify the problem (technically speaking, side-step it) we can make it seem that we’re much smarter than God, in which case he isn’t really god at all. This is the reason why the scientific community adopted Occam’s razor: it makes them feel clever.

As a result, we can now say that Occam’s razor is the scientific embodiment of willful ignorance. It’s become a convenient way to dismiss the truth in favor of anything at all that harmonizes the popular science narrative of godless existence (SciPop) with whatever new technology just came out. The real test of scientific merit is: would it work well as the plot for an episode of Star Trek?

July 23rd – Occam’s Razor

Occam’s razor is a philosophical train wreck used to get people to believe hypotheses which are more complex than their competitors.
