宗教和科学信仰的简单性
Religious and Scientific Faith in Simplicity
摘要：
宗教和科学都是从基本的假设开始的，这些假设无法被证明，但却被信仰所接受。在这里，我注意到，在这两个企业中相当常见的一个基本假设是，在比较同样解释观察结果的不同假设时，更简单的假设更有可能（奥卡姆剃刀或简约法则）。也就是说，解释应该尽可能简单（尽管不能更简单，因为这样就不能解释观察到的东西）。
英文摘要：
Both religion and science start with basic assumptions that cannot be proved but are taken on faith. Here I note that one basic assumption that is rather common in both enterprises is the assumption that in comparing different hypotheses that all equally explain the observations, the simpler hypotheses are more probable (Occam's razor or the law of parsimony). That is, explanations should be made as simple at possible (though no simpler, since then they would not explain what is observed).
