Where does it say another universe couldn't have the same physical properties as ours? What observations and tests have been done that say, "If another universe exists, it must have different properties than ours."?
They don't have to, but in some popular speculative scenarios (string landscape) they do because the physical constants etc. are randomly selected in inflation. This is a nice hypothetical framework which explicitely shows how anthropic selection of physical laws could work. Now guess why theists hate it
