Razor #5: Hitchens’ Razor


Hitchens’ Razor:

What can be asserted without evidence
can be dismissed without evidence.

Thought:

The burden to create faith
must be borne by those
who wish others to have faith.

 

(In philosophy, a razor is a principle or rule of thumb that allows one to eliminate (‘shave off’) unlikely explanations for a phenomenon, or avoid unnecessary actions.)
