Are there multiple Helens?

Well, maybe now I know what our universe is expanding into...another universe, which is expanding into another universe, which...Hey, wait a minute. Is this one of those toys where you open one box to find another box inside, which you open to find another box, which you open...???
Bizarre: to avoid belief in one God, ostensibly because His existence is not falsifiable, the materialist will resort to an infinitude of unobservable, and thus unfalsifiable, universes.
Occam’s razor favors theism.
Infinite universes? Turtles on turtles? Occam’s razor seems to be getting thrown under the bus here.
Lost me right after the promise of the title.

Idiot Genius...Stephen Hawking says Everything was formed from “
Nothing”
What a Moron.
1) The number of multiverses is unimaginably large and where is the requisite mass and energy necessary to generate this ridiculously large number of universes?
2) In most universes within a multiverse, every two-slit light experiment will result in an equal amount of light going through each slit. But there will be countless universes where more light goes through one slit than the other, and two universes where all the light goes through either one slit or the other. Why is it that we happened to end up in a universe where half the light goes through each slit?
3) What about the cases where there are an infinite number of possible states for a system to be in? A lot of quantum systems must be in one of a finite number of possible states, but some systems can be in an infinite number of possible states. Are an infinite number of universes created every time one of these cases arises?
I am going to be one of the first people in line to apply for the Job..
Tour Guide for one of those Universes...:)
So I take it you are not a theist of any traditional sort. Classical monotheism, whether Christian, Jewish or Muslim, holds that the created world was created out of nothing, and that space and time themselves are created.
Hawking just provided a mathematical model of what a universe created ex nihilo might plausibly look like from within in terms of physical laws extrapolated from those we observe to extreme circumstances at the beginning of time.
The hold of atheism on the materialist mind is dismayingly strong: Hawking can’t see, or can’t accept, the obvious answer to his own question “What is it breaths fire into the equations and makes there be something for them to describe?”

How about "A Debate in Cosmology - Strategies for Papering Over the Fact That Something Doesn't Come From Nothing".
Yup, these guys spent all that time and money to get their PhDs just to piss you off. They are all militant atheists who really don't believe what they are saying. They are falsifying data to serve Satan. Thanks for opening my eyes. I don't want to be left behind.

Is she the Queen Reptilian I have been reading about?
There’s no multiverse, it would be self contradictory, nice sci-fi, but in reality: NO!
This is merely a thinly veiled attempt to ignore the fact that cosmology and science point to a creation event.
If you read the article carefully there is no proof that the multiverse exists, but it is postulated as the solution to string theory.
Be careful, string theory has been postulated to solve lots of other sci-fi "problems" including time travel, warp speed, teen acne, and the like.
It's amazing that these scientist will blithely tie themselves in knots with elaborate theories instead of just acknowledging that it's looking darned likely that there is a God.
Another thread about NBA stars??
