Occam’s Razor

Question

Hello and blessings,
 
After a certain person accepted, for example, the physico-theological argument, he then understood that there is a creator or creators of the world.
That is what the argument speaks about, and in my opinion it is definitely a strong argument after reading about it and the objections to it.
 
Regarding Occam’s Razor, I came across an argument with someone over the following statement: It is worthwhile to posit at least two primary entities: God and Satan. You see duality everywhere, you see that nature is run through a struggle between forces, you see that opposition is what pushes the world forward. Positing two primary entities explains so much that claiming you can shave with Occam is ridiculous.
 
What do you think about that? I’d be happy to get a reply.

Answer

So let him posit duality. Let him worship God and keep away from Satan. By the way, I personally really don’t see what that explains, or what cannot be explained by positing one entity, but health and happiness to him.
