Hitchens's razor

Hitchens's Razor is a philosophical principle articulated by the British-American writer and critic Christopher Hitchens. It states that "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." This means that if someone makes a claim without providing sufficient evidence to support it, others are justified in dismissing that claim without needing to provide counter-evidence. Hitchens's Razor emphasizes the importance of evidence in debates and discussions, particularly regarding assertions about gods, the supernatural, or any extraordinary claims.
