High Five of the Day: Faithful Thinkers: Multiverse and Rationality

Here is a quote from an article recently published by Luke Nix. I think he summarizes quite well the problem with the concept of multiple universes...besides the part of there being no conclusive proof nor consenus.

The less and less probable something is to happen, the fact that it did happen points more and more towards its happening being the product of a mind, not chance. Since we do not have evidence that necessarily demands the existence of these multiverses, the only consistent and rational explanation is still a Designer. If that conclusion is actually false, then that is a continued reason why we should still not trust our own minds to ever discover the truth of naturalism, and the multiverse provides exponentially less hope that we ever will. Ironically, if naturalism is true, God is still the best explanation for all the facts we have.

  1. You should post something on this recent article by Alexander Vilenkin defending the idea of the multiverse. Yes, that Alexander Vilenkin. I'd imagine he knows a little more about it than whomever Luke Nix is.

    And before you claim that it's likely a mind did something, you need to show how likely it is a mind can exist without a brain or even if it can exist without time.

  2. Defending an idea and establishing a fact are two different things. So you are an apologist for the Multiverse hypothesis? Good luck with that one.

    Sorry, I assumed you knew who Vilenkin was. Most apologist do. Wait, I'll give you a minute to hit wikipedia...

    No, I have no dog in this hunt. But you do, and it's entertaining to watch.
