Occam's Razor is named for William of Ockham, an English Franciscan friar, logician and theologian. His writings on limiting plurality in arguments has been transformative in the history of science, reason, and medicine. While the heuristic that bears his name is very useful, it should not be seen as a substitute for good empirical testing. It relies on subjective assessment of simplicity, rather than an objective tests in evaluating arguments.
I've borrowed heavily from the Wikpedia articles on Occam's razor and William of Ockham. Howstuffworks was also helpful.

William of Ockham (
/ˈɒkəm/; also Occam, Hockham, or several other spellings; c. 1288 – c. 1348) was an English Franciscan friar and scholastic philosopher, who is believed to have been born in Ockham, a small village in Surrey. He is considered to be one of the major figures of medieval thought and was at the centre of the major intellectual and political controversies of the fourteenth century. Although he is commonly known for Ockham's razor, the methodological principle that bears his name, William of Ockham also produced significant works on logic, physics, and theology. In the Church of England, his day of commemoration is 10 April.
William of Ockham joined the Franciscan order at an early age. It is believed that he studied theology at the University of Oxford from 1309 to 1321, but never completed his master's degree (the usual undergraduate degree in those times). Because of this, he acquired the byname Venerabilis Inceptor, or "Worthy Beginner" (an inceptor was a student formally admitted to the ranks of teachers by the university authorities). He was also known as the Doctor Invincibilis or "Unconquerable Teacher."

Occam's Razor is named for William of Ockham, an English Franciscan friar, logician and theologian. His writings on limiting plurality in arguments has been transformative in the history of science, reason, and medicine. While the heuristic that bears his name is very useful, it should not be seen as a substitute for good empirical testing. It relies on subjective assessment of simplicity, rather than an objective tests in evaluating arguments.
I've borrowed heavily from the Wikpedia articles on Occam's razor and William of Ockham. Howstuffworks was also helpful.

Can God's Existence be Demonstrated? (William Lane Craig)

Questions explored: Can you demonstrate God's existence mathematically? Does an argument have to convince everybody in order for it to be valid? What are some of the best arguments for God's existence? What is the Cosmological Argument? What is Leibniz's argument for God's existence? Does the contingency argument depend on a universe having a beginning? What is the Teleological Argument? What is meant by Fine-Tuning and Intelligent Design?

Ockham's Razor - Simplicity in Science & the Arts
Simplicity is considered a value of scientific theories, but why? Is it a function of our human psychology? Is it a matter of mere aesthetic taste? Or is it because simpler explanations are more likely to be true (i.e. nature itself is simple in some sense)? Professor Elliot Sober gives an introductory talk on this question on simplicity (Ockham's Razor) and offers his own take on it, as well as its connection to simplicity in the arts. This talk was given at the University of Hertfordshire. -

I still have some differences of opinion around the understanding of 'the hard problem' which I try to clarify here. Also, the issue of whether the hard problem is best addressed by a 'how' or a 'why' seems slightly off the point. 'How' questions (which concern themselves with the possible mechanisms through which consciousness emerges) do not address the hard problem because it is a problem in epistemology, not physics or biology. The problem isn't coming up with a description of the mechanism but of developing an intuition which allows that solution to 'feel' right. To this extent it's hard to know exactly what kind of solution might do this. The 'why' question, to my atheistic ears, sound irrelevant, and to be honest I don't really know how God managed to sneak his way past William of Ockham, who I thought was keeping tabs on our use of unnecessarily complicated explanations.
The EM stuff, which Jeff is championing hard as an answer to the 'how' question does have one advantage, which is that it does make an intuitive appeal to common sense understanding through its aligning of a physical phenomenon (EM) which we think of as 'ethereal', 'invisible', 'intangible' etc. with the phenomenon of consciousness which, in our conceptualisation, also has these features. This is just a correlation though and, in my opinion, does not have explanatory power beyond this familiarity.
