> dhw: I could hardly have made it clearer that I regard both hypotheses as fantasies. I just want you to acknowledge that if you yourself believe in "an infinite number of universes" designed by a designer, you can hardly dismiss atheists' theories about an infinite number of universes as poppycock devised purely to avoid the design theory! -Yes, I can dismiss atheist theories. My reasoning is that we know that a first cause (my God) created this universe in a Big Bang. I then make the assumption from this knowledge that God has been doing this back into eternity. Current multiverses are pink elephant theories with no basis in what we know has occurred. I'm using historical fact to extrapolate

> dhw: A huge mystery on a par with our not knowing where intelligence or consciousness came from. That is why your solution (God) is not a solution at all, but merely the substitution of one mystery for another.-First cause intelligence/consciousness has always existed. You cannot conjure up intelligence and consciousness out of raw energy. I've covered this before.
