Default Re: Evidence and all that

[ QUOTE ]
But there is some evidence that where two theories are equal in their explanatory power, the goofier one has a lesser chance of being correct than the simpler one. Not always, but more often than not.

It seems to me that a very good argument could be made that theistic theories are less "goofy" in an Occam's Razor sense than their atheistic competitors. At the very least, I think a more rigorous definition of your proposed meta-evidence rule is in order.
