Omnipotence and Parsimony?

[ConsequentAtheist]

Does parsimony have any meaning when all logically possible actions are equally available and equally effortless?

In real world is there any absolute equality in efforts and availablity associated with possible actions..? parsimony is not necessary in that case. in utopia there is no state (to govern and enforce). still ur question eludes me.. what r u upto..?

Apparently not to Theists who believe in an omnipotent God.

At least not to any I have met yet.

I would like to meet one.

Any takers?

I would argue, for example, that Occam's Razor (i.e., the Principle of Parsimony) can have no relevance to a Creationist/ID model.

i think i agree. but occam's razor is being taken up by everyone who feels others' assumptions are superfluous from their perspective. i could understand this as for as scientific theories are concerned for all scientists have a common ground. when it comes to faith Vs atheism, well, it seems principle of parsimony is more important than 'omnipotent God' for atheists.. i would like to see ur argument.

Sorry, but I haven't a clue what you think you said, much less what you think I said. [edited for spelling]
