Cosmology: our galaxy is an oddball (Introduction)

DAVID: You have morphed the discussion into the same arguments as multiverses. It is reasonable except our universe is not dealing with an infinity of galaxies. I think the odds require that. Obviously we are here because all the conditions are correct.

dhw: Why do you declare so authoritatively that we are not dealing with an infinity of galaxies? Even in your own theistic scenario, your God is eternal, and your God makes the galaxies, so why could he not have been creating galaxies for ever and ever?

We know this universe had a beginning and expanded to beyond the CMB. It therefore is limited and its galaxies are not infinite. Previously, if He has made many universes, which I don't doubt, there is probably an infinity of galaxies. I stated above 'this' universe.
