The universe is unbelievably large, but still not big enough to find a legitimate justification for atheism

The Multiverse Theory is the atheists’ concession speech. It means they have literally run out of explanations in this universe, so they have to pretend there is another one to explain their flawed worldview.

The Multiverse Theory is the unscientific and anti-scientific idea that the exquisite design in our universe isn’t caused by an intelligent designer (i.e., God), but it exists merely because there are an infinite number of universes and we just happen to be in one that appears to be designed. Yes, it is laughable, but the continually growing evidence for design has forced people to come up with a non-God explanation.

Their theory is a self-contradictory attempt to move the goalposts. Even if more than one universe existed, let alone an infinite number, that would just give greater evidence to the design theory. More complex things means more evidence for a creator.

I think that those who know that support for Darwinism is crumbling use the Multiverse Theory as a placeholder until they can think of something which is at least a little more plausible.

See The Multiverse is the Poker Player’s Best Friend for a good illustration. Here’s a sample:

A couple of years ago I trotted out the “highly improbable things happen all the time” meme our Darwinist friends use to such advantage at my home poker game. For those who don’t recall, this is what happened. I dealt myself a royal flush in spades for the first 13 hands. When my friends objected I said, “Lookit, your intuition has led you astray. You are inferring design — that is to say that I’m cheating — simply on the basis of the low probability of this sequence of events. But don’t you understand that the odds of me receiving 13 royal flushes in spades in a row are exactly the same as me receiving any other 13 hands. In the game we are playing there are 2,598,960 possible hands. The odds of receiving a straight flush in spades are therefore 1 in 2,598,960. But the odds of receiving ANY hand are exactly the same, 1 in 2,598,960. The odds of a series of events are the product of the odds of all of the events. Therefore the odds of receiving 13 royal flushes in spades in a row are about 2.74^-71. But the odds of receiving ANY series of 13 hands is exactly the same, 2.74^-71.”

Please read these words carefully:

Romans 1:18–20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

It is foolish and rebellious to think that you get to define whether God exists and what He must be like. Repent and believe while you still have time. Eternity is a mighty long time to suffer for your foolish pride. One day you will die and will be judged by your creator. The standard won’t be your neighbor whom you think you are a little better than. The standard will be the righteousness of Christ, and all of your secret (and not-so-secret), shameful sins will be compared to that standard.

The Good News: By God’s grace He adopts, completely forgives and eternally blesses everyone who repents and trusts in Jesus.

The Multiverse Theory = the Atheists’ Concession Speech.

More about multiverses, aka the Darwinist Concession Speech

Via Really getting into multiverse thinking here, this quote out of Perhaps-It-Used-To-Be-Scientific American:

To me, the key point is that if theories are scientific, then it’s legitimate science to work out and discuss all their consequences even if they involve unobservable entities. For a theory to be falsifiable, we need not be able to observe and test all its predictions, merely at least one of them.

– in “The Case for Parallel Universes: Why the multiverse, crazy as it sounds, is a solid scientific idea” (Scientific American, July 19, 2011)

They call that solid science while claiming that Intelligent Design isn’t science?  Wow.

I realized many years ago that as the Weekend at Bernie’s Darwinian tautology got harder and harder to prop up that its proponents would eventually have to find something new.  They do it regularly on a smaller scale (“junk DNA,” anyone?), but at some point — despite the Darwinian monopoly in education, media and politics — the masses will see through the endless errors.

I just didn’t realize that the new meme would be the multiverse fairy tale.  I thought they would be more clever than that.  It sounds like something people on marijuana would come up with, and has just as much science behind it.

The multiverse theory: An atheist’s concession speech

universe.jpgTeleological arguments for the universe are getting so compelling that many atheists are resorting to the “multiverse” theory. 

They realize that the spectacular fine-tuning of the universe implies a designer, so they posit that there must be an infinite number of universes, with ours just happening to be one which supports life. 

They have zero evidence for this, of course, and don’t seem to realize that explaining the existence of an jim-safari-147.jpginfinite number of universes is harder than explaining one.  They seem kinda desperate to me.dna2.gif  It is a true “science of the gaps” play. 

In short, I view the multiverse theory as an atheist’s concession speech.

Wintery Knight has a thorough post on this as well.
