Occam's razor is a tool of logic which states that the simplest solution to a question is most likely to be the correct solution. Thus, for example, one could say that "In the beginning, God created" (Genesis 1:1), is beautifully straightforward, while any theory which seeks to explain our existence without allowing for God, is, by comparison, untenably unwieldy.

sharp ones ---- It's a trick question. Occam's razor is an expression defining the principle that "entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily."
