Occam's Razor

So there are now two possible explanations for complex designs. Either they were designed by God, or by cumulative natural selection. Which explanation should we prefer?

Whenever there is more than one possible explanation for something, there is a simple rule of thumb that we should use to decide which is the right explanation ....

The rule is called "Occam's Razor" after Willium of Occam (c. 1285 -1347). Natural Selection is much simpler explanation than devine creation because it only requires us to believe in things that we already know about. No supernatural being is needed.
