Let's say the multiverse theory is true, how would a Christian insert God...?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse
The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of infinite or finite possible universes (including the historical universe we consistently experience) that together comprise everything that exists and can exist: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. The various universes within the multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes.
The theory goes, in simple terms, that billions of universes exist in a space outside that of which we perceive our universe to "be in." That would explain what out universe is expanding into.
In other words, our expanding universe, with its billions upon billions of stars, galaxies and systems, is actually only one of billions and billions of other universes.
Because the laws of physics determine that matter must behave in a certain way, the theory considers that of all of these billions of universes, almost every one would be near identical to ours aside from minute changes. We may even exist in slightly different contexts, but look and sound and otherwise appear to be the same.
The theory goes that if these universes are so numerous, there would almost certainly be one that is so startling similar to ours, that it would be a perfect clone. This is a matter of simple odds.
The crux of my question being, if this theory was proven true, surely it would be almost impossible to posit the existence of God?
