have they pronounced the universe gay, yet?
An empty universe is terrifying, so they invent infinite ones to make each action they make and the thousands of “mirrors” to magnify their existence.
they can figure down to the last atom, how the universe was formed and what happened before, during and after the big bang, including any other membranes, strings and other universes....
but there is know way of making a cogent argument against the existence of a creator....or proof that there is for that matter. it is faith and there is no way to measure it.
why cant they just keep their (lack of)believe system to themselves unless they have solid proof...which they can’t.
Um... no it doesn't. I disagree with the atheists 100% but this statement is logical fallacy, X does not mean therefore Y.
We cant be intellectually honest and let our side get away with statements like that. Just because the other side screams "yer mother wears army boots" does not mean our argument is correct, is just means THEY have no argument.
If the Universe were arranged any other way, nobody would exist to discuss it. Look up "The Anthropic Cosmological Principle".
The “Multiverse” theory is just a newer variant of the old “a million monkeys typing for a million years could produce the works of Shakespeare” argument.
“Hope & Change”
Anything to keep from having to acknowledge God.
Faith & science bump....
The more they deny the existence of GOD, the more mystical they get. Doesn’t make sense.
I think the multiverse is in a closet somewhere sitting next to “dark matter”.

For me personally, Anthropic principles fail to explain why our universe is in one such fine-tuned state, when “all things being equal”, it was much more likely to develop into chaos.
The multiverse hypothesis is a contrived attempt to reconcile our elegant reality with blind chance, at odds with our universal observation that reality follows one path or another, but not all paths.
I think a more obvious solution to the enigma is that all things are NOT EQUAL, and that the path that results in life was preferred from the beginning.
Anthropic principles attempt to mask this blatantly teleological principle with the language of probability, illogically “proving” the a priori necessity of the cause from the a posteriori necessity of the effect.
When this faulty logic is removed, we are once again left with pure teleology: the universe was made for man.
Thank you for this.
Belief in multiverse requires faith, as there is no proof of multiple universes. What a tangled web they are weaving all in the name of dispelling faith.
If there are enough universes in the “multiverse”, at least one might be the Secular Utopia they all dream about.

No, you miss the point. First and foremost, we are here, I had to be at work by 8:30, so, we do exist. Acknowledging that we exist, you start to focus in on the window of parameters that must exist for us to be. As the article says, for that to happen by chance, would be like to hit a 1mm bullseye from across the universe (it does not say whether the thrower was actually targeting the bullseye or not). So, because we are here, and because all of the parameters have to be so finely tuned that it eliminates “tuning by chance”, the only alternative is that the “fine tuning” was designed.
There is only one universe. When a scientists talks about a ‘universe’ that is impossible to verify through experience, the scientist is no longer acting as a scientist, but as someone with a mission - destroy the possibility of creation.
They decry faith, but this is faith - “there’s another universe out there, but there is absolutely no way to communicate with it, to see it, or to have any proof at all of its existence. You’ll have to take my word for it”
Get over it. The universe is as it is, perfect, and no man on earth can explain it.
I love this stuff. It equates to thinking about thinking, The unverse is jello. It is not many things. It is one thing. Touch it at any point and it quivers throughout, albeit infinetesimally.
We are part of the whole which blinked into existence at the whim of its creator and will, assuredly, blink out either at his will or when he is otherwise distracted.
