The Razor supports the adequate theory that does not require ad hoc assumptions that God so requires.
Rem B. Edwards in :Reason and Belief...," maintains that we naturalist beg the question in assuming naturalism as the simpler theory that describes reality adequately when the supernatural does that also. Now, that one as noted, requires ad hoc assumptions [ mysteries].. that advert to God did it ,useless ones.
Haughty John Haught contemns us naturalists for not including other venues of knowledge than science. We can use valid ones ,but he begs the question that there are supernatural ones when he has not so demonstrated!
