Atheists: Do you believe in the multiverse?
March 19, 2013 at 4:21 pm
A question asked purely for research reasons! I'd like some sort of an idea on how many have faith in the multiverse.

I don't "believe" in much of anything.

If there is evidence for it I'll consider it.

Last I heard it was little more than a brain fart of somebody.

I don't like things that require faith in order to be believed.

I also do not know enough about the idea of parallel universes to provide an answer. I'll say a default no, though.

Given that the ideas of a multiverse are all hypothetical rather than theoretical so far, I am of no opinion either way.

This. Until it's supported by more than just the math, I'll leave it in the "undecided" bin.

We don't take things on faith. We leave that to the theists. We rely on evidence. The multiverse idea is still highly theoretical and does not yet warrant belief as the current preponderance of evidence does not add up to "more likely than not".

Seconded.

I don't take much on faith. Nor am I very familiar with this idea.

I don't believe in a multiverse because there is no solid evidence demonstrating there is one. Simple. I didn't put undecided, even though I think it might be possible for there to be a multiverse, I simply don't believe there is one (though I don't necessarily believe there certainly isn't).

The idea is really intriguing, and cosmological/physics discussions would definitely be more interesting if it is true.

That's not enough to make me believe in it.
