The universe is a multiplex.
When you get right down to the bottom of things ...
... the floors are sticky.

The Bible describes God. Do you read the Bible?Of course. Why do you think the Bible would describe everything there is to know about God?
Do you have a science text that describes everything there is to know about origins?

Thank you for your explanation!
To: Soliton; metmom
I am glad you do, but believing in things you don't understand is superstion (Stevie Wonder)We don't understand origins but we got here somehow.
Are you saying you don't believe in the concept of origins?

No I'm stating the theory Besides, I don't "believe" in multiverses. It is just one possible explanation. If I were to "believe" that they existed I would need evidence.I see. So you freely embrace the multiverse theory as a possibility with no evidence that you don't understand as plausible, but NOT I.D. BECAUSE you don't understand it and have no evidence.
Well, see we all knew your problems weren't based on science but based solely on insecurities about God/religion.
Welcome to reality soliton!
NOW see if you can actually embrace REALITY!
I'm pulling for ya!

From later in the artcle:
...you could have God and a multiverse without creating any significant theological problems. Believers don't have to choose. They can have both if they want.
A fairly understabable video explanation of the multiverse is availble at YouTube: Imagining the Tenth Dimension (annotated). It is very interesting.

Okay, where did the multiverse come from?

you'd really be left with only two explanations: a benevolent designer or a multiverse." 1)why is the nature of multiverse the way it is?
2)why is there a multiverse rather than nothing?

one possibility, if a person either believes in god or leave the possibility open, is that god created the universe in such a way as to challenge people to look at the evidence as they understand it and look at The Word and make a choice as to what they will beleive.
We sometimes have to admit that we just don’t know. That is not to say that oen cannot beleive in god or choose not to. But no one can honestly say that they know that there is no god, only that they believe that there is not.

I don't know if multiverses exist. I don't know what they are made of. I do know that science isn't very good at answering why questions. "Because" works because it implies an unknown cause. Now you can say the cause is God, but that would be meaningless unless you could explain what you mean by God,
I prefer "I don't know"

As someone else replied, the designer would be intelligent. I am definitly not a creationist and for me ID is not a hidden backdoor to creationism.
There are many of us ID people that believe that the Universe is designed. It may turn out to be designed by aliens for all I know. It is what it is.
