Quote:For the universe (multiverse?) to arrive by chance is astronomical! Its pretty much impossible . Since our understanding of the universe is becoming even more complicated, saying it was a chance, is becoming less probable.
M theory, a real mathematical theory, implies that there are other universes or "branes" with different fundamental laws. If there is one more it is likely to think there is an infinite number of universes with differing fundamental laws. If this is the case, and considering this theory is based on sound mathematical principle there's no reason to think it isn't, then simply by chance it is INEVITIBLE that this exact universe occurred, if it didn't we wouldn't be here to observe it . In fact, if the multiverse is infinite, then this exact universe with this exact forum post occurred an infinite number of times.
Thus, this real, fair dinkum, mathematically sound physical theory provides an answer to the "goldilocks" argument which is entirely consistent with known physical laws and empirical evidence. Such an explanation is intrinsically superior than God because by its very definition "god" is supernatural and violates the laws of physics.

Quote:I dont want to say this proves God exists, but it is rather compelling, really compelling in my opinion. What do you guys have to say?
I think its a poor argument.
Quote:Note: Dont try to use Occam's razor here. Occam's razor removes multiverses and other theories in modern physics and astronomy.
How on earth does Occum's razor remove established concepts in theoretical physics? If it did they wouldn't be established concepts. Do you even understand what Occum's Razor is? Its a way of choosing between rival hypothesis not ruling whether something is likely or not.
