An infinite number of universes requires a mechanism for generating those universes. How is this universe generating mechanism less parsimonious than God?
If a universe or multiverse requires a generation mechanism, so must a sentient creator God. I don't play special exception games. You can't proclaim that every effect must have a cause, and then violate your own dictum in an attempt to prove it.

A lack of sentience, intent, personality, or any other anthropic qualities some of us simply can't imagine not being qualities of meta-existence.
