It is impossible that an omnipotent, powerful, infinitely knowledgeable and perfect humanity could hide from humanity. Basing itself on the principle of occam"s razor. The argument supports the idea that because there are scientific theories explaining the origin of the world, there is no reason to believe in a more complicated and incomplete theory based on supernatural being (s).
