Not sure this has anything directly to do with astrophysics. No other Universe(s) can be accessed by our powers of detection, measurement, or observation, so talk of other universes is speculation, not science.

As for God's omnipotence, there's no doubt God *can* do anything, but the question is, is there any record, of any kind, of God creating anything --- bringing it into being out of literally nothing --- after the initial Creation.

The answer *seems to be* no, although I'm not sure that rises to the level of being a doctrine. I supposed a scientific way of asking the same question might be, "As far as we know, is the Universe a closed system?" -- related to the "Law" (?) of the Conservation of Matter and Energy.

But don't look at me! I don't know!

I highly doubt God is constrained by the "law" of conservation and mass and energy. How could the Great Flood have happened unless there was an "open system" for all that water to come from and where did it go, after forty days?

I never said there were other universes, that was your speculation of my comment to set up the rest of your comment.....

I said THIS universe God created is living and growing. That this expanding universe God created is now a knowable fact, which is not contrary to his Creation. What *our defined universe* is expanding into , we don't know at this time. But those who come after us will have the answers we cannot attain... As we have with regard to the ancient Israelites. So this means as God's created, we do not and haven't , close our eyes to our God given expanding reason.

For if that were not true, we all might as well prefer living in caves....
