Multiverse: Science or Fiction?
Written on Mon, 21 November 2016The concept of multiverse is really easy to understand, i.e., there is more than 1 universe. It is also called Many-worlds. How scientific is that concept?
To begin with, we must realise that no one has ever observed another universe. Nothing has been measured and recorded that strongly indicate a multiverse. Before the multiverse idea came, many viewed reality as a single unfolding history. It was Edwin Schrodinger who proposed that reality is like a tree with many branches, each with every possible quantum outcome realised. Every possible outcome is a history of its own, thus a world of its own. While many studies have been dedicated to this notion, none of it has ever proven multiverse existense.
A work of Fiction
If this is starting to sound like science fiction, because that's what it is. It's a work of fiction. Multiverse has got nothing to do with science. It is merely an idea in an attempt to reconcile the improbability of life with reality. Even Stephen Hawkings admits that "a DNA molecule arising by random fluctuations are very small", let alone life itself. But if there were an infinite number of universe, then that eliminates probability and introduces inevitability. After all, many studies have indicated a Fine-tuned Universe. It would take an infinite amount of outcomes for our universe to exist.
Getting rid of Design
Since the beginning, evolutionist have been attempting to get rid of the idea of design, despite evidence of it. When they proposed the idea that we are mere descendents of single-cell organism, they are essentially telling us we are nothing more than animals. When the idea of life happening else where came about, they are essentially telling us that we, and the Earth, are not as unique as we think. The idea of multiverse is also the same, that we, and the Earth, and the universe, are not as unique as we think.
The whole idea of us being an accident, and not designed, is built on nothing more than faith. None of the proposed ideas has been observed, much less proven. They remain nothing more than ideas.
Fearfully and Wonderfully Created
To think that we are merely products of a mathematical equation, is to devalue life. But we are not an accident, we a purposefully designed being. The evidence of design is everywhere, from the simplest DNA to the most enormous star in our observable universe. None of the properties of our universe could come about by chance.
