It's not a matter of faith or belief. I tend to think multiple universes are a possibility, but as of now, I am undecided until there is evidence to support it.
I decided to step right up and put it all on the line .. undecided, baby. I leave it others to waffle about what they suppose might be true. I'm gonna tell right now, I don't know and I don't think the uni-verse idea is privileged for having been around longer. That is just as much a supposition as the multi-verse, namely that what you can see is all there can be. The multi-verse does just as good a job of accounting for what we can see as its uni-cousin, it just leaves open other accounts of what could lie beyond. We are in no better position to rule out what may or may not exist on such a scale than we are to vouchsafe the uni-view.
So I shall proudly remain agnostic in regard to the uni-/multi- debate. 
Can't really add to what has been said before. There's no evidence for it - but it's at least a valid topic for research - even on a theoretical basis.
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog
If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside? The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm  RE: Atheists: Do you believe in the multiverse?

Has anyone else came across the moronic argument some theists make where they ask you if you believe in the multiverse/many worlds interpretation (doesn't matter which because they don't understand them) and then they claim that in one of the universes god would exist therefore they are right and atheism is wrong? It doesn't seem to matter that in one of the universes god wouldn't exist either...
 Anyway, no I don't believe in the multiverse and I would advise atheists to say they don't if asked by a theist, not unless they want to have an hilarious argument with them at least. 
I don't "believe" in them, that would be stupid.
I do love the idea of them, however. I find the potential fascinating. If evidence for them is ever found (in my lifetime, obviously) it would be amazing. |
