You are arguing against yourself. Thank you for making my point.
How so? For instance, why does the gravitational force have to obey the inverse square law? (Answer: it doesn't; see MOND.) But, if it did not obey this regular, repeatable and observable pattern, could sentient life have evolved over the last 13.8 billion years of the Universe's existence? Answer: probably not (but, again, see MOND.)
Problem with no multiverse is that we still live in an expanding Universe:
Wikipedia -- Observable Universe
Now, if our Universe is finite and expanding, but without a physical center, then it must be at least 5-dimensions (3 spatial dimensions plus time, the 4th, and the 5th, being some sort of hyperspace, namely, that which the Universe is expanding "into", unless it is "expanding" into nothing, in which "nothing" is something, namely, that which the Universe is expanding into.)
Can you comprehend the 5th dimension? Can you comprehend a finite volume of space with no geometric and/or physical center? I can't. And, so, the multiverse just makes sense, that is, to say that the Cosmos is infinite in both space & time. It gets rid of the problem of, "Out of nothing, nothing comes" and/or the "nothingness" into which the Universe is expanding into.
