The lecture titled, “Book, Chapter and…Multi-verse” was—at least according to feedback—successfully presented on the night of May 17, 2011 AD (see video at the end of this post).
One point which garnered some interest was that the multiverse has become the atheist’s supernatural realm.
How so?
Let us review a basic point: the manner in which atheists generally consider science to function is that first you deny evidence that it troublesome to your theory/worldview. Then, when the evidence is no longer deniable, you manipulate the evidence to fit the theory/worldview rather than changing the theory/worldview in order to incorporate the evidence.
Thus, first atheists insist that the universes is nothing special—it can’t be because it is an accidental happenstance of a coincidinc—then the evidence for fine tuning starts rolling in and accumulating. Finally, they simply reaffirm their “faith” based belief that the universes is an accidental happenstance of a coincidinc by appealing to an invisible realm where, so the quaint story goes, all things occur and so we just happen to be in a fine tuned universe. After all, if it were no so, we would not be here to ponder it.
This, in fact, is an admission that the universe is fine tuned and thus, that the evidence is undeniable. And this is why the atheists have concocted their very own supernatural realm.
So, now to the atheist’s supernatural realm…keeping in mind that this comes towards the end of an entire lecture (notification of its availability in video form will be posted here when it becomes available).
For the atheist, the multiverse is:
1. Unobserved / un-evidenced—a cosmos absconditus
2. Intangible
3. Non disprovable
4. Not subject to reproducible experimentation
5. Produces no testable predictions—it predicts anything/everything
6. Able to discredit the “uni”verse (the one, single) by mere assertion
7. Believed upon by “faith”
8. Held to as a consoling delusion—to escape the inconvenient reality that is supported by evidence
9. Concocted as an escape mechanism—escape from scientific evidence and theological implications
Moreover, it is neo-Pagan atheism as the multiverse is:
1. Omnipresent
2. Omnipotent (containing the power to created anything/everything)
3. Omniscient (containing all the information that is necessary for “creating,” populating and maintaining the various universes).
4. Created all things both seen and unseen.
5. Is the eternal uncaused first cause.
And what conclusions are to be drawn from the atheist’s claims about cosmology?:
It is ignorant and superstitious to believe that God made everything out of nothing.
It is rational and scientific to believe that nothing made everything out of nothing.
It is ignorant and superstitious to believe that God is eternal.
It is rational and scientific to believe that matter is eternal.
God is an effect and must have had a cause.
Matter is the uncaused first cause.
If God made everything, then who made God?
Matter made everything and nothing made matter.
