Ockham

Ockham's Razor states that "the simplest solution is the best."

This may apply to science, but everywhere else it simply stinks.

Imagine, if you will King Lear. Shakespeare starts with "I thought the king had more affected . . ." and finishes with "Shall never see so much, nor live so long."

Ockham's King Lear reads as follows: "King Lear died."

While the latter is more sucsinct, it is also pointless. Likewise, to apply Ockham's razor to the study of such things as the Bible or the meaning of the Bible is absurd and dangerous. It results in such interpretations as I mentioned in my previous post.
