Faith, when it comes to issues like the beginning of time, matter and space, means believing in something without having any tangible proof to back up what believes. There is no scientific proof as to how matter originated or came into being.

Occam's Razor is a philospohical principle, devised by the English philosopher William of Occam which states that entities must not be multiplied beyond what is necessary.

In a scientific context, according to one dictionary I looked at, Occam's Razor "is the choice of the simplest theory from among the theories which fit the facts we know."

"In logic, Occam's Razor is the statement of an argument in its essential and simplest terms.

Since atheists do not know how matter originated, how can they use Occam's Razor to frame the simplest theory from among the theories which fit the facts they know? They can't. Why? Because theories require three things: testing, observation and confirmation.

How can one test, observe and confirm an unknown?

"Faith, when it comes to issues like the beginning of time, matter and space, means believing in something without having any tangible proof to back up what believes. There is no scientific proof as to how matter originated or came into being."

There isno such thing as proof in science, only in logic and mathematics. Science relise on evidence. Regarding beginning of htis universe and the appearance of energy, the law of conservation of energy applies. The evidence for that law is overwhelming. That means the energy always existed.

"Since atheists do not know how matter originated, how can they use Occam's Razor to frame the simplest theory from among the theories which fit the facts they know? They can't. Why? Because theories require three things: testing, observation and confirmation."

Again, conservation of energy says it always existed. Also logic says it always existed. The observational evidence is overwhelming. There is no other hypothesis that withstands the observations.

Belief in God requires that one examine and have faith in what someone says. It is impossible to find evidence of God in the physics of the world(universe).
