But, but, I thought ...

Actually I agree with you, catfish 1957. Hubble may well be all and more, and worth more than a look <-—> see, here from earth, where the pictures are ‘beamed’ down to.
Dang! I was born in the wrong universe!
Could our multiverse be one of many multiverses?
Nobody dies in the multi-universe continuum—granted you face death,perhaps several times a day but you never die because upon “death,” you instantly occupy your other person and have no memory of the death episode because it never happened.
As far as you are concerned you either never faced death or you dodged it.
My wife has buried my ill ass many times but I am still here.

How do you draw that conclusion? Certainly the Bible talks only about this one, but isn't it unwarranted speculation to arbitrarily limit God's power to also create other universes?
And Semper Fi to you as well, Marine.
Just my (somewhat crude) way of poking a little fun at the people whose careers are spent thinking, talking, and writing about arcane theories such as this.
Fair question... Anything is possible I suppose but none of those ideas would seem to be consistent with what the Bible reveals about the character of God or consistent with the many passages of scripture for which the concept of multiple populated universes would have a bearing. Scripture lays out everything that is important for mankind to know and nowhere does the idea of another universe similar to ours show up. So, does that means that either such a universe doesn’t exist or does it means that God didn’t deem it important for us to know about? Based on the enormity of what is revealed, the latter would seem to be impossible. Consider the question from a broader scope (and related to this) is the idea that there might be a similar universe but without humans on it, or plant life but no animal life. However, dealing with a universe that has people on it would present such a huge theological problem that it would have to be discounted. As a ‘free will’ created and fallen mankind, God’s Son Jesus Christ was sent to die and to be the Saviour of humans.... if there was a similar race of people elsewhere and who had that gift of free will, that mean that Christ would have to die again .... and again and again depending on how many such universes were supposedly created. That just didn’t happen....Christ died once for the human race and that’s it. As for the possibility for instance of a universe that just had plant life on it, it would simply be inconsistent with many references to the fact that Earth is completely unique. Genesis 1:1 (KJV) ‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.’.....it doesn’t say earths in the plural. The creation story says that earth was created on the first day.... it wasn’t until the fourth day that other interstellar objects including our own sun and moon were created. If there was going to be a belief that other populated universes existed prior to ours, it would mean that they would have been completely destroyed since our universe was created ex nihilo (out of nothing). That would mean that God made a mistake and had to start over... not consistent with the character of God. If God created populated universes after ours, that would seem to imply that he was hedging his bets on one of them turning out right... not consistent with the character of God.
I’m sure there are many answers to your question that are far better than mine but it is a Saturday and I must go and straighten out my garage... plus a lot of other things.
There is one universe and numerous realities.
Sheesh.. How hard is this to figure out?
Why? Did not Jesus himself say “In My Father’s House there are many mansions”?
That answer is as satisfying as 42.
It would kind of look like just exactly what we see out there.
MIT physics professor Robert Jaffe and his collaborators felt that this proposed anthropic explanation should be subjected to more careful scrutiny,
"Gee. Ya think."
Okay. That means that... our whole solar system... could be, like... one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being. This is too much! That means... -one tiny atom in my fingernail could be-- -Could be one little...
tiny universe.
Could l buy some pot from you?
Yes, but since different people see things differently, it’s not really proven or unproven.
If you would like to interpret that passage that way, be my guest. I think you are out of step with the most accepted interpretation though which is that it means there is lots of room and accommodations for all in God’s heavenly kingdom. You would be reading something into it that’s not there if you go further than that. What makes you think that this has to do with ‘universes’? What other scripture would you point to that supports that interpretation?
LOL!!! Never thought of it like that.
I grabbed the smaller one posted in the 'reply' since I knew where to find it.
For a long while now I've had desk topped this other image, spread to fill the screen;
