The only way to equalize P(H0) and P(H1) is if P(observed reality | H0) = P( observed reality | H1). This means that all observed reality acts as if it can be completely explained through naturalistic mechanisms. This is Spinoza's God. The problem is that the pragmatic and epistemological weight of H0 and H1 in this case are not equal. Since observed reality in this construct acts as if there is no God, an appeal to the existence of a God is expanding the complexity of the system without gaining any explanatory power. Therefore, the principle of parsimony kicks in and we still embrace H0 as the preferred hypothesis.
