A multiverse is consistent with Genesis:

# [ The Beginning ] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1-3 (in Context) Genesis 1 (Whole Chapter)
# Genesis 2:1
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Genesis 2:1-3 (in Context) Genesis 2 (Whole Chapter)
# Genesis 2:4
[ Adam and Eve ] This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created. When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens-
Genesis 2:3-5 (in Context) Genesis 2 (Whole Chapter)

Did these scientists use genesis as a text book? Should they have to make their work quicker?

I have always had just one question. What triggered single celled organisms to cooperate and become multi-cell creatures? I mean, I understand the theory of evolution and such and I understand the creationist theory and the intelligent design theories. But what I don’t understand and what has never been satisfactorily answered to me is what mechanism brought on multi-cellular life.

I guess my feelings on life are that God brought the Universe into being and through his guiding hand brought life to the level we are at. Be this through evolution or other means, I don’t know. The tripping block for me in regards to “accidental life” is that there is no mechanism except intelligence that can make the huge leap from single cell to multi-cell life.

If someone has a viable theory, please share it. I’m not taking sides or making challenges, I’m just curious as to what may have caused the change and specifically why.

Mike

Our universe is perfectly tailored for life

We have only explored a very tiny part of the universe, and 99% of what we have explored is hostile and often deadly to life, including large areas of this very planet.

When an atheistic materialistic naturalist either posits a ‘multiverse’ or insists on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics (an absolutely pointless thing to insist on, since ‘interpretations’ of quantum mechanics are needed only if one wants to fit quantum physics into the bed of Procrustes created by Newton’s false start on physics), he comes very close to admitting the intellectual bankruptcy of his own position.

At very least he denies himself access to both Occam’s razor and the insistence that he believes only in empirically verifiable facts, and with it any claim to benefit from a supposedly privileged position for scientific knowledge. And, absent those supports, there is really no compelling argument for atheism, materialism, or naturalism.

If the multiverse is the final stage of the Copernican revolution, with our universe but a speck in an infinite megacosmos, where does humanity fit in? If the life-friendly fine-tuning of our universe is just a chance occurrence, something that inevitably arises in an endless array of universes, is there any need for a fine-tuner—for a god?

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

If you allow yourself to hypothesize an almost unlimited portfolio of different worlds, you can explain anything,”...

Sums up the E position quite well!

"Changing environments...

"EVOLUTIONARY 'pressure'...

"Loss of habitat...

"Limited gene pool... (Oh wait - that CAN'T work!)

"Sexual preferences...

"LOTS of time...
