Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools... Romans 1:22
"The implications of a Designer are so strong, in fact, that atheists have been forced to come up with a mechanism to ‘explain away’ this extremely odd fact (odd only from the atheist perspective, of course).
One of the ways this is done is by appealing to ‘multiverse theory’. In a reality in which only chance rules, the universe we observe is highly unlikely to occur.
But, they reason, if our universe was only one of an infinite number of universes, then perhaps ours just happens to be the one that hit the lucky jackpot. It’s only natural that we should observe it, since if we were in any of the other ones, we wouldn’t be able to exist at all!
As a response to cosmic fine tuning, this is hardly an acceptable scientific answer; rather, this is an ad hoc ‘way out’ of the fine tuning problem.
There is no empirical evidence for the existence of other universes—all our data are, by definition, part of the universe in which we exist!"
