Is there any way to describe this belief?

RE: Is there any way to describe this belief?
True, he didn't specifically say that he was correct like the fundies tend to. It's a fairly easy claim to defend the idea that he believes it. While that itself is a positive claim, 'tis irrelevant unless he makes a claim that something is as it relates to reality, rather than that something is believed.

Oops, should have put "reality" in quotes I guess.

Sounds like an Infinite Multiverse Theory.

The problem I always had with that, is that if every idea is possibly true, or true elsewhere, then the paradox is that the idea there is only 1 universe or finite universes must also be true.

In order for it to be true, it could not be infinite, but finite, limited by constrictions within each universe that cannot escape that version of reality at least on any meaningful level.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
