概述
无证据的断言可以无证据的驳回。[1][2][3][4] — 希钦斯的剃刀，克里斯托弗·希钦斯

这个概念以作家，科普学家，新无神论者克里斯托弗·希钦斯命名，致敬了奥卡姆剃刀。[5][6][7]该格言出自希钦斯2007年所著的《神并不伟大:宗教如何毒害了万物》 。[8][4]它是萨根标准(“特别的主张要有特别的证据”)的一个更强的，适用于一切主张的法则。

历史

希钦斯的剃刀是对一句拉丁语的改编quod grātīs asseritur, grātīs negātur (“毫无根据的假设可以被毫无根据的反驳”)，这句话在19世纪被人们挂在嘴边。[9][10]

[William Ockham] devised a 'principle of economy,' popularly known as 'Ockham’s razor,' which relied for its effect on disposing of unnecessary assumptions and accepting the first sufficient explanation or cause. 'Do not multiply entities beyond necessity.' This principle extends itself. 'Everything which is explained through positing something different from the act of understanding,' he wrote, 'can be explained without positing such a distinct thing.'
