Mung,
For once in any thread try clarity, I implore you. When you are on the defensive you resort to word salad; OK, let’s try.
In Biology you do know ‘parsimonious’ has a particular importance? It is known as the ‘principle of parsimony.’
This means, that biological systems or parts, are usually connected or behave in the simplest, or most economic way; usually!
A huge help for evolutionary biologists when looking at systems such as blood clotting, and the immune system etc.
So, applied to help explain your silly demand to know how ‘no man in the sky’, is more parsimonious than ‘one man in the sky’, is quite easy.
You see ‘no man in the sky’ implies no supernaturalism, and thus is simpler (more parsimonious), than ‘one man in the sky.’
Mung @4, you said it is more parsimonious to believe in one man in the sky than many, you were correct. However, it is more parsimonious still to believe in no men in the sky than one.
Leave the ‘sky man’ out, and rely on nature, and then ‘biological parsimony’ is at last satisfied. |

Mung is getting to be a bigger asshole with each passing day. TSZ has gotten pretty much unreadable with Mung and phoodoo defecating multiple times in every thread. I do wonder what causes his severe need to be such an attention whore.
