'Multiverse' Theory Fails to Explain Away God by Brian Thomas, M.S.
New discoveries continue to reveal the life-friendly properties of our universe, in which physical laws are seemingly fine-tuned to allow life to exist. To get around the appearance of design, secular scientists have to invent naturalistic explanations that exclude the possibility of supernatural origins. The latest of these inventions is “multiverses.”
The force of gravity, the specific masses of subatomic particles, the exact strengths of fundamental physical forces, and the distance of the earth from other galaxies and from the sun are all essential for the delicate balance needed to sustain life. Bernard Carr, cosmologist at Queen Mary University of London, told Discover, “If there is only one universe, you might have to have a fine-tuner. If you don’t want God, you’d better have a multiverse.”1
The multiverse hypothesis holds that our entire universe is only one of an infinite number of other universes. In this way, all conceivable fundamental construction parameters could exist in a vast array of alternate realities. Most of these imaginary universes would not have the right conditions for life to exist, but by a cosmic coincidence, all the life-friendly forces of our universe happened to line up correctly.
There is no evidence for the existence of alternate universes, and if a concept cannot be proved or disproved, it is not open to scientific investigation. Stanford University visionary physicist Andrei Linde seemed adamant, however, that though this theory is not scientific, it must be true because it is logically necessary. When asked whether physicists will ever be able to prove the multiverse in the absence of any hope for physical confirmation, he told Discover, “Nothing else fits the data.”
What data? ...

ping!
This is good news. God must have been very anxious about the ramifications of this. What if it had gone the other way?!
The theory may explain away some particular fairy tales, but why would one expect it to explain away God?
ABG.
It just goes to show how desperate the evoatheists are to get rid of God. They'll believe stuff that has no evidence to back it up, try to pass it off as science to give it SOME sort of credibility (which really gives science a good name, dontcha know), stretch the truth, ANYTHING but God.
“The multiverse hypothesis “
It is a hypothesis — have at it.
Never understood how science can say there is no God because they can’t find any proof...yet they continue to look for life outside Earth, but they can’t find proof of that either!
This isn't science, it's propaganda.
Or perhaps life adapted to existing conditions.
It’s a crude hologram. No split universes. God is laughing at our obtuse nature. :) Merry Christmas everyone.

Also from the article:
Stanford University visionary physicist Andrei Linde seemed adamant, however, that though this theory is not scientific, it must be true because it is logically necessary. When asked whether physicists will ever be able to prove the multiverse in the absence of any hope for physical confirmation, he told Discover, “Nothing else fits the data.”

The ‘data,... duh’ :)
it must be true because it is logically necessary”
More accurate would be to say that God exists, b/c that is logically necessary
It is.
This multivervse theory is more than 2 decades old right now.
This “multiverse” theory is one of the most ridiculous ideas that some people come up with — all for the purpose of *not invoking God* in the matter... LOL..
Do you think that the multi-universe theory is scientific?
The multiverse theory, in order to remove the threat of the God hypothesis, would have to also exclude multiple universes that operate according to the same fundamental principles of physics. This would, in effect, completely destroy the very foundation of scientific reason. It would imply that “universal” principles of science would only be applicable in our universe, but not in any other, and therefore are merely relative.
So, to destroy the reasonable hypothesis of a Creator, the atheists are willing to dispense with the very foundation of the enterprise they wish to use to supplant God—scientific materialism. The irony is so rich, it is unbelievable. They are seriously backed into a philosophical corner with nowhere to turn but to a completely irrational and fanciful conjecture which, in principle, could never be empirically validated and even if it could be, it would negate the validity of the empirical validation. LOL!
The Multiverse theory is based on Heisenberg. Every reality is random.
