Reminiscent of "ancient astronauts." ;-) (astro-naught)
One of the most profound discoveries of science is that there was a beginning, which of course is the first phrase in the Bible - and is a great difficulty to metaphysical naturalism.
I wonder if it was to counter the obvious theological importance of that discovery - that the multi-verse theories were proposed. At any rate, even under a multi-verse, there must be a beginning.
Robert Jastrow's book God and the Astronomers underlined the significance:
JASTROW: Oh yes, the metaphor there was that we know now that the universe had a beginning, and that all things that exist in this universe—life, planets, stars—can be traced back to that beginning, and it's a curiously theological result to come out of science. The image that I had in my mind as I wrote about this was a group of scientists and astronomers who are climbing up a range of mountain peaks and they come to the highest peak and the very top, and there they meet a band of theologians who have been sitting for centuries waiting for them.
