 | There are two men in history who deserve the logic of Occam's Razor the most. The first is Jesus and the second is Shakespeare. Occam's Razor is that logic which describes a story in its most simple terms and because it is in its most simple terms has the highest probability of being the truth behind the story. Simply put-- the most simple of explanations is often the truth.
Jesus story Occam's Razor: Jesus was an ordinary human being, for science tells us that no supernatural exists or has ever existed. And James was the brother of Jesus. Jesus was a violent revolutionary fighter of the Romans and would hide out in caves and John the Baptist was a fellow fighter. There band of brigands or fighters used religion as a means of recruitment and cover and disguise. Jesus was the leader of one such band of fighters and he married Mary Magdalene who bore him a son called Barabbas. One day the Jesus band with Barabbas rode into Jerusalem and fought and killed some Romans as well as overturn moneytables and disturbing the peace. Unfortunately for Jesus, Barabbas was captured. So Jesus sent his 1st lieutenant of Judas into Jerusalem to cut a deal with the Romans. That they release Barabbas and that Jesus, his father would take the place on the crucifixion. In those days of old Rome, Augustus Caesar was declared "son of god" and stamped on the coins of that time period. So it was commonplace for conquered countries to mock Rome by calling one of theirs as "son of god". Caligula was declared "son of god". And we all know that Augustus and Caligula were just ordinary human beings. So it was easy to brandish Jesus, a broken man crucified as another "son of god". And it was easy to brandish Jesus as dying to save humanity from sin from the act of Jesus dying to save his true blood son of Barabbas. This above is the Occam's Razor of Jesus and probably the true historical Jesus. The myth story concocted in later centuries distorts it all out of proportion and makes Jesus a supernatural, makes him a son of god and makes him dying for the reason of saving humanity from sin.
This is the 21st century and humanity needs to grow up and realize that Truth is Science and Science is the truth. And that God is Science, and Science is God. We no longer need Jesus myth stories or any supernatural story. It is science that landed us on the Moon. It is science that built modern civilization. So we need to trashcan religion and in place put science.
Shakespeare story Occam's Razor: this is an interesting example because unlike the Jesus story it is closer to our modern day history for it goes back only some 400 years whereas Jesus goes back 2,000 years. And science should be able to unravel Shakespeare more easily than Jesus. My Occam's Razor of Shakespeare is to say that from the evidence, the books attributed to Shakespeare were all books written after Shakespeare had died. In other words, the friends of Shakespeare wrote the books and then put his name as author to them. To me that spells that the true author of some of those works were probably other persons than Shakespeare. Some candidates would be members of the Edward DeVere family, and another candidate would be Christopher Marlowe.
We must ask ourselves a question. Could one man alone have written all of those works ascribed to Shakespeare. Have travelled to Italy where most of the plays are set? Have managed and operated the actors and the playhouse where they were performed and taken care of his family? Could one man have done all of that? I say no.
England in the time of Shakespeare was torn apart by religion with the Queen having spies amoung the people making an environment of authorship of plays where you would want to be anonymous for fear that the Queen would call you a traitor.
This much we do know in that the personality of William Shakespeare was such that he made alot of friends, for it is great friends who will compile plays once dead and sign them with the author of Shakespeare when the true author was a collection of various other people such as Edward DeVere and Chris Marlowe.
Also by 1600 was a time in England where it wanted to boast greatness for we see it in the rivalry of Newton versus Leibniz. And where England needed an author that was greater than any German or French (Goethe or Voltaire). Such an environment where the Queen could execute you as a traitor and where England wanted to boast of a superior writer over all others, is an environment where all the plays are culled and original authors erased and compiled and then one name placed on all of those works.
Any one researching the practicalness of whether a single human could manage to do all that William Shakespeare is ascribed as doing verges on the impossibility. William would not have had time to even have a drink at the pub with his friends.
I reckon that Shakespeare may have been the author of about 2 of the plays and that Edward DeVere and his daughters and Christopher Marlowe wrote the majority of the plays.
But that England in those conditions wanted to boast an author that stood far above any German or French author. And so on the death of Shakespeare, the order was put out by the royalty to compile all the plays and to affix one name as author.
So it is time ripe, now, for science to correct the wrong of Shakespeare, although not as pressing as the Jesus correction because, you must remember, that thousands and millions were not killed over Shakespeare, but that thousands and millions have been killed over Jesus.
Science is God, and god is Science because the universe itself is God and the Universe is one big atom of plutonium where we are inside of that atom.

Well those two human individuals certainly deserve an Occam's Razor but I should not have said "most". For an Occam's Razor is needed for Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.
Shakespeare never made an attempt to deceive the whole world because the plays were written and compiled after his death and it was his friends, with perhaps a gentle persuasion of the monarchy of England who compiled all those plays and then affixed the name William Shakespeare as author. Perhaps this affixing was due to the friendship that William was as a person. Perhaps it was due to a demand by the British royalty. Perhaps it was both, or, perhaps it was none of the above but something else. This much is certain that no play exists that Shakespeare wrote in his own hands and signed as author.
So by putting Shakespeare as deserving of Occam's Razor is more of a mystery, logical solving but not a pressing solving because of harm or detriment to Science.
But Jesus story and Joseph Smith story is a detriment to science and a hoax and insult to humanity at large and deserves and requires a pressing Occam's Razor. Because human education cannot be still with stories of a man walking on water or spontaneous creation of matter (fish and bread in baskets) or spontaneous heeling or other miracles, or the appearance of an angel or gold tablets. The world cannot have science and physics and chemistry and biology and have stories of Jesus or Joseph Smith. Both are not true and real.
Perhaps I should not, or need not write about Joseph Smith because there are ample people who have exposed the fakery or hoaxness of Book of Mormon. But I should write about it because not much has been said in the defense of science or the relationship of Science through history and how it deals with religious fanaticism. I look upon Joseph Smith as an old time religious fanatic and feel sorry that so many people have been hoodwinked by his deception. I feel sorry for anyone who leads any part of their lives under a deception.
And I am rather troubled that even by the 1820s that a major religion with its hoaxes can form in a world where science has progressed as far as it did by the 1820s. To think that the world in 1820s could accomodate and accept a new religion based on a hoax and charade of gold tablets and angel. That a new religion can spring up in the 1820s whilst science has made huge strides by 1820s suggests to me that humanity is far dumber than any of its bright spots of intelligence and wisdom. That we are 90% dumb and stupid and silly with only a 10% intelligent and wise.
And I am saddened that no scientists, or big well known scientists of the 1820s and shortly thereafter stepped up and revealed the foisting of a hoax on the world public. Although much credit is to be given to journalists of that time period who showed that Solomon Spaulding wrote several fiction books one of which was "The Manuscript Found" in 1812 where both Joseph Smith and Spaulding continually use the phrase "Now it came to pass". And that the book written by Ethan Smith of "The View of the Hebrews" parallels "The Book of Mormon".
It is nice to see however that even a physicist, Mr. Lawrence of the Mormon community inspected the Kinderhook Plates and found them to be fakery and a hoax in that they were dated to 1840s blacksmith technology.
This is what is so sad about religions in that they play off the fears and insecurity of the mass of people, and pretend and fake as if they are special humans who have some link to God and they do this in order to gain power wealth friends and fame. And they even break a rule of God by liaring. Liaring that they saw an angel and liaring about gold plates.
I have said in a post many years back that I suspect a new religion is almost impossible to take root now in our modern society because science is so far advanced that no charlatan like Joseph Smith could ever hoodwink a population of people. But then again 90% of the people on Earth are dummies when it comes to science and only 10% know that Science is above religion.
In fact, Science is God, because only science gives the truth, and God is Science. And in the Atom Totality theory we are part of God because the entire Cosmos itself is God and our planet, our body is a tiny part of God.
