and you will uncover an atheist”—anonymous
One concept, or dictum, that is ubiquitously misunderstood, misinterpreted, misused, and misapplied by atheists is Ockham’s/Occam’s Razor.
Here are some examples of how some atheist’s think they can utilize the Razor:
Christopher Hitchens (during his debate with Alister McGrath), “Ockham’s Razor disposes of all the supernatural assumptions that have ever been made.”
Robert M. Price (in “The Jesus Mirage”) claims that there are no, “New Testament miracle stories which cannot most readily be explained, a la Occam’s Razor, naturalistically (as an overblown retelling or an outright fiction).”
Fredrik Bendz (in “Proof that there is no god”) claims that God, “can be excluded with Occam's razor.”
Over at Atheism is Dead MedicineMan has dug into his medicine cabinet and served up an antidote to the atheist fallacious commandeering of the Razor in a post entitled Firmly By The Blade.
