Occam's razor? On this site? You have to be kidding. This site goes by Macco's razor. That is if you have indisputable visual evidence of airliners crashing into buildings, that means that didn't really happen but they were really blown up by Bush and the Joos in some mysterious manner. Of course that has nothing to do with your premise, but your premise is just as stupid. I mean if people have a philosophy of denying belief in anything, that is always going to be a very simple philosophy.
Some people are never satisfied with the simple truth, for them complexity takes precedence over raw facts/truth.
How do you explain your existence on this earth? Evolution? Then how do you explain the formulation of life? Wouldn't Occam's razor indicate that some outside force that you don't understand performed all of this?

That's easy. Life arose on this planet only because of it's orbital proximity to its star, the Sun, creating a near ideal environement for life forms to evolve and thrive. I don't know what Occam's razor indicates, but deductive reasoning and rational observation indicate sheer randomness and natural forces alone brought life to this planet, as it undoubtedly has to millions of other planets throughout the universe.
Simple, the universe was vomited up "as is" by a giant turtle. There is a whole detailed belief structure that explains this. And it was reportedly handed down by God. And if you simply want to vote on the subject, this belief structure is older than your religion and more people have followed it. Why is your religion special? Was it also handed down by God? Sort of like Islam or Hinduism or Scientology? And God personally told me that you are full of it. So I guess that's the end of the discussion - unless you want to claim that God is full of crap.
Why don't you go write some tranparently silly blog on the subject and then quote it here and on LP? (Under a new alias - because all of the others are banned for their stupidity.) Isn't that what you define as truth?
