What makes you think I haven't?

You didn't mention that there is also no evidence that Odin didn't make the big bang happen, or His Noodliness, or any of the many possibilities that are just as complicated and just as undisproved. Not mentioning this makes it seem like you didn't take it into account - that is to say, you don't know why Occam's razor makes sense.

What makes you think I haven't?

Reading your nearby comments - you don't come across as someone who is deliberately trolling. Yet you still made the statements Emil quoted (and half a dozen similar errors). The likely (and more polite) assumption is that you are merely ignorant of the basic principles of clear thinking rather than that you were deliberately violating them to provoke a response.
