I've heard some argue that there is likely an infinite number of universes. Do they literally mean all Apparently Possible universes or Actually Possible universes? And what is the difference? Basically, in summary, if they mean infinite, as in every Apparently Possible scenario imaginable, is it safe to say that in SOME universe there ACTUALLY IS a Flying Spagetti Monster?

What? Are you saying there isn't a FSM in this universe?

Yes, and according to Plantinga's Ontological Argument, if a maximally great FSM exists in some universe, it exists in all universes, therefore, it exists in our universe, and therefore, the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists. Big Grin
