Somehow, I don't believe Ockham intended that his razor carve away until nothing but ignorance remained.

Ockham no doubt meant that one day a bolt of lightning hit a bubbling pot of primordial soup and out popped a dinosaur with a 3 billion molecule long DNA sequence and an attitude. After all, lets keep it simple.

I certainly hope that you don't think that that's in any way anywhere in the neighborhood of the actual scientific view. If so, sue your teachers. If not, why do you wave straw men around?

After all, lets keep it simple.

Well, simple things for simple minds.

I don't know about Ockham, but I much prefer that explanation to the one that states:

Something of unexplainable complexity one day caused a bolt of lightning to hit a bubbling pot of primordial soup and out popped a dinosaur with a 3 billion molecule long DNA sequence and an attitude. After all, of the two explanations, it is the more simple.
