"Life" is tailored for our universe. This explains the myopic viewpoint of secularists. They always start out on the wron foot....
I thought the earf's creation was settled science.
Get back to me when these brainiacs finally concede that God created the earth in His own sweet time.
This is a great theory. It’s impossible to test it! Everything is now answered and “science” no longer has to prove anything. Well done.
So how does this differ from religion?
Ugh. "Tailored" assumes we were created first and the universe was created for us.
We are a product of our universe. So, of course, it is fit for us.
If scientists are scamming us about global warming, then who’s to say that the big bang theory isn’t also just another excuse to feed at the trough?
Still avoids the biggest question: Life is controlled and organized by information. Where does that information come from? Even an infinite number of multiverses cannot explain the origin of information!
Bookmarked for later
I always enjoy reading articles or essays of this nature because they are mind stretching. At the same time, those wizards might want to step back and look at things practically: we have five senses that evolved to keep us alive and to reproduce; along came a mutation that separated us from the apes and monkeys but beyond that, all animal life forms possess the same senses.
The wizards exhibit the height of arrogance when they purport to understand and explain the universe to us thinking that their five monkey senses will unveil and reveal the mystery of the universe to us. Something like Algore wanting to control the earth’s climate.
Bookmarked for when I am not so upset about the Mumbai thing.
I'm a man of faith...more so as I grow older. I have been indirectly called a nitwit because I place my "hope" in something that can't be measured or tested through experimentation.
Interesting.
I'm curious. Has anyone ever created life from carbon based soup in a labratory?
LOL!! "Many", as if it were a dozen or two....
If they were honest, they would call it "a virtually infinite number."
Or at a minimum: "many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many".......and on for 7,000 pages.
With infinity, you can explain anything, even if you're not religious!
By definition, the universe encompases everything in existence. That being the case, there can only be one “universe”.
A multi-verse to me would make God even more likely.
John 14:2
In my Father’s house are many rooms
I have a hard time agreeing the hubbub about the “big bang being firmly established” and their assertion that everything is known from one millisecond on.
Just seems to me to be kinda without foundation when just about daily, the Hubble takes a look out there and sees things that we have no idea
What they are or
Why they’re even there.
We are all the time being bombarded by cosmic rays that have energies that are not producible by any known process, including them being “left over” remnants of the BB.
Wish the aliens would show up. Modern science could use a good dose of humility.

Why would I read past such an incredibly ignorant statement? The author is writing out of his league.
Of course there are many potential universes, each act and each belief you act upon moves you toward a different universe than you would be in had you acted otherwise. Both must have had the potential to actually exist or your decision and your action meant nothing at all.
Since both (all) potential universes were available for you to step into and there exist billions of us making decisions each day (and stepping into our own new universe) how better to understand how your actions and belief system directly impact the world you live in than to understand that there are multiple-universes in existence.
How does it negate God in any way to have science just begining to scratch the surface of something which moves us just slightly closer to understanding how God's miracles manage to function within what we believe is our physical environment. Think about what a miracle really is... whether someone no longer aflicted with a deadly disease whom the doctors only last month concluded had only weeks to live...... consider the car wreck someone walked away from without a scratch.. etc etc... Consider the "how" and the mechanics which must surely exist for God to work such miracles without violating the very laws of phsyics he originally put into motion.
It's a given that there are multiple universes and it's our option to choose which of all possibilities we will live in.
