Anthropic Principle vs Goddidit

[Neo-Scholastic]

Moreover the design argument rests on the statistical improbably of a random origin. Calculating the exact odds is impossible but nearly everyone agrees, skeptics included, that the chance is orders of magnitude above astronomical. The most common way around this is to propose a multi verse. The problem with that is that that solution is highly unparsimonious. It posit a infinite number of universes when a single god works just fine.

Parsimony is about the number of assumptions, not the number of things. All the universes follow from one single assumption, and there's evidence that the assumption may be correct.

Multiverse theories seem like a blank check that throws our specific universe into an anything goes mix of bizzare possibilities. In a Multiverse you can justify any assumption.
