It's not the majority theory though. From a Deistic perspective I'm not sure that it matters. The idea is that the universe has many constants, like the speed of light, that could conceivably be different than they are now. The question becomes why does our universe have this particular structure and not another? What are the rules that govern the formation of universes and where do these rules come from? They could not have come from the universe itself because that creates a viscous circle.
