[That is why scientists had to create the wild-eyed notion that an infinite number of parallel universes must exist (the "multiverse" theory), for an infinite period of time, and our universe is just one of those random universes that just happened to have the right set of values.]

Absolutely correct.

If you think so, then you're as confused as he is.

Did Judge Jones ban the multiverse as well? He certainly would have banned Lemaitre's Big Bang Theory.

No, he wouldn't have.

I can see it now. Albert Einstein testifies before Judge Jones and says, 'The universe is static, we all know this'. Lemaitre testifies: 'But your honor, even Professor Einsteins own field equations testify to the fact that the universe is expanding and he threw in a cosmological constant to maintain the universe as static.' Judge Jones: 'Science doesn't allow for creationists like Lemaitre poisioning the minds of our youth with creationism, Professor Einstein obviously has the better argument here and is eminently qualified. Big Bang Theory is banned. Next case!'

Nice straw man. Too bad it bears no resemblance to the actual arguments used in the Dover case.

Right. In the Dover case the school board explicitly said in their disclaimer that ID was an OOL theory and that OOL theories were for discussion by the family, not for the classroom.

I'm not sure about the school board in Lemaitre.

But I am sure that the multiverse is analagous to Einsteins adding in the CC.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Ichy.
