    Yes. The simplest solution is usually the right one.

    Let's apply that to the most complex question known to man, where none of the solutions even resemble simplicity?
    Where Occam's razor applies (imo) is in the following question:

    Which is more likely, that the universe sprang into existence, or that a deity that knew all of the information in the universe AND then created the universe sprang into existence? I find it easier to believe that just the universe was created. That's already enough of an improbability.

    except the universe never sprang into existence.

    there was never a time when it didnt exist
    The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.

    Except there are so many things wrong with that statement I don't even know where to start.

    Untrue. The universe did not exist until WombRaider arrived on the scene.

    Wait, why am I buttering him up just now?!?
