New Occam's Razor

Occam's razor is the criteria that is used by scientists to choose between two theories that explains a phenomenon equally well. It states that given two theories that equally explain a phenomenon, the one with fewest assumptions should be chosen. So as baseless an assumption it is ultimately Occam's Razor is the fuel that propells science!This may not seem a serious issue if you think that there are always 2-3 competing theories that equally explain a phenomena. But there are always myriads of them! To many people, they have a picture of scientists as a team of carefull people always sorting through different hypotheses by conducting experiments and ruling out falsified hypothesis and choosing what agrees with experiments. Well, this is how they proclaim themselves and who espect a group to say anything about themselves other than all what is good? However, this is far from being accurate. At some point, they nolonger waite for future data to speak. They begine to decide what people should beleive or doubt by voting!! Then they pass it out as a proven fact!! Occam's Razor is said to be used here.A good example is Ptolemy vs Copernican view of how solar system works. What you are told is that Scientists proved that we revolve around the sun. However, that is not the truth! Ptolemy's hypothesis was rejected using Occum's Razor. A good scientific book should always tell you so. Unfortunately, many don't. Many books, articles and online writtings INDOCTRINATE science insteat of TEACHING science.Let us see if our scientists are even faithfull to this razor in the first place. Lets restate it:Given two theories that equally well explain a nartural phenomenon, the one with fewest assumptions should be taken.Let us apply this to the question; why do leaving things show signs of a work of an intelligent designed? Clearly, the simplest hypothesis is that they were infact intelligently designed! A person who says that this hypothesis does not adequetly explain the origin and diversity of life is blatantly lieing. We hardly have a trouble even convincing a child that life was intelligently created! The bottomline is the answers are too straight away for a scientist to perceive it as an explanation. Explanations are somehow thought of as necesarily unwinding it in paragraphs for only the proffesors to grasp. Clearly the 'God' hypothesis won't earn you a job as a teacher or a nobel price! It is too straight foward!Q:Why is the lens of an eye positioned outside more in the peripheri than the iris?A:Beause it is unreasonable to place it the other way round as both the lens and the iris would serve no purpose.With the evolution theory, we must make another redundant assumption that there was once such a misplaced lense and then it was selected away. So to explain each and every bit of the gazzilions of things in the body we must make an assumption. So there are at least as many unprovable assumptions as there are the number of amino acids in your entire body!!If a scientist can interprate Occam's Razor to mean anything he want it to mean at any time, then it is a worthless criteria. It is not any different from a Christian holding that the bible is both symbolic and litteral. By choosing what to take it literaly and what to interprate, he can make the bible say anything he want it to say. The key point is he chooses what to interprate by fiat but not via any justifiable methodology.There are two things, however, that I am not trying to endorse. One is that the mainstream science is entirely worthless. The other is that we should use argument from ignorance. To the first, I am saying you read a scientific theory and take it to be what it is; a theory, not a truth. Read like you will read a bible or even more carefully. Use your reason, jurdgement, intuition and common sense. Question it and think very critical through it. Try to UNDERSTAND the theory and not just seek CONVICTION that it is true. Above all, try to form your own theory and challenge the established stance!!As for argument from ignorance, this the eror done on the other side of the pendulum. A creationist or any other 'magical thinker' etc would be told to produce evidence of God, telepathy etc. Then many issue a kick back card. Can you prove that there is an electron? Can you prove big bang? Can you prove that life is not a dream? All of these are worthless dares. A proponent of God, telepathy etc should provide evidence for such. What does a lack of evidence at the other side of the pendulum got to do with the question of whether or not God exists? If there is no evidence that electrons exist, this does not mean that we should accept that God exists because some guys accepted that there is an electron without proof. What if quantum guys are a bunch of bozos? Would we not all be lead to spiral to the abyss of ignorance? Rather the absence of direct evidence for both the electron and God means that we should equally QUESTION both of them.CONCLUSIONQ:So what then is the new Occam's Razor?A:Shut up and calculate!The modern man seeks truth and knowledge. He wants to knnw everything and understand nothing! Ok lets consider an example: go to the street and ask how many people there have ever heard of quantum mechanics and everybody will raise his hand up. Ask how many know that it has been proven and even more hands go up! Now ask how many have ever heard of Stern Gerlach experiment and the entire 'wavefunction' composed of millions of 'eigenstates' suddenly 'collaps' to some ten guys! Still ask how many can draw the apparatus of Stern Gerlach experiment and perharps only one of them can do it! So in the end, in what way are scientists in modern times any different from priests of the dark ages?There are two claims that comes from the mouth of a scientist. There is one long range missile that tickles the mind but is ultimately pointless. It is made when the scientist has gotten tired and he is now streatching and yawning. I may call these 'eureka claims'. He breaths deep and says; 'give me a long beam and I will balance the whole earth!' unfortunately, such claims are the only things the masses get! When they set out to debate, they spend six hours trying to convince others that it has been proven that a man can balance the earth like a see saw or that when we travel we come back younger than our twins or that we get fatter and fatter till we become as heavy as the whole universe. Such gabage becomes the truth and ultimately the religion.
