“Evolution by natural selection occurs” and “God made the world and everything in it, but did so in such a way as to make it look exactly as if evolution by natural selection occured” make the same predictions in all situations.
I just wanted to make a comment here that the latter hypothesis is more complex because of the extra things that are packaged into the word “God”.
“Something” making the world and everything in it and making it look like evolution isn’t a hypothesis of higher complexity … it’s just the same hypothesis again, right? I feel like they’re the same hypothesis to a large extent because the predictions are the same, and also because “something”, “making” and “making it look like” are all vague enough to fill in with whatever is actually the case.
