Hi Stathis Papaioannou Certainly all possible universes can or may exist, I leave open that possibility. But I personally believe that God actually made only one, selecting the best possible one. It isn't more than a plausibility proof, but the fine-tuning numbers, that our current universe is excessively improbable, but that improbability is what is necessary for life to exist, although it is a very slight proof, is still better than no proof that other universes exist.
I would add that if something is improbable naturally, it would need some sort of intelligence in its creation, not just random chance. So it would seem that our current universe was created by some humungous intelligence.

One theory is that existence of platonic entities such as numbers is not ontologically distinct from actual existence. In that case, all possible universes necessarily exist, and the one that has the laws of physics allowing observers is the one the observers observe. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
