When it comes to determinism, aren't we just choosing one unknown over the other, based on our own personal bias?
When Dawkins for example proposes a mutating multiverse he never really deals with what causes the necessary mutations. Instead we are left with the possibility of God (gasp) again. What therefore is the difference between belief in a multiverse and belief in God? Well, if we are talking bias, and that is what the OP asks about, then I would say the answer is: Next to nothing.There is quite a difference between positing a God and positing multiple Universes.

I made no such claim.I love how you make the leap from multiple universes possibly existing to exclaiming how all of this really means that God must be about.
A much more interesting question than the one posed in the title of the thread.When it comes to determinism, aren't we just choosing one unknown over the other, based on our own personal bias?

Determinism? May I suggest God is Not Dead by physicist Amit Goswami?When it comes to determinism, aren't we just choosing one unknown over the other, based on our own personal bias?

Huh? I did not 'regress' to a conceptualisation. I pointed out a possibility. And thus I showed that multiverse theory has a kind of equivalence with the God question, and I did so as a response to your claim that there is 'quite a difference between the two'. And I agree there is quite a difference, just not in the area that this thread deals with.Fair enough, but you still manage to regress back to the conceptualisation of God.
And you still manage to regress back to condescension.Fair enough, but you still manage to regress back to the conceptualisation of God.
No, we are not "just choosing." We are inferring possibilities that are consistent with science.When it comes to determinism, aren't we just choosing one unknown over the other, based on our own personal bias?
Are we really? There is no scientific basis for the belief in the multiverse.No, we are not "just choosing." We are inferring possibilities that are consistent with science.
If only the world's cosmologists and and quantum physicists were as bright as you ... :bow:There is no scientific basis for the belief in the multiverse.No, we are not "just choosing." We are inferring possibilities that are consistent with science.
Ah, I'm glad you like to think that "the world's" cosmologists and quantum physicists all believe the same thing, but guess what? They don't.If only the world's cosmologists and and quantum physicists were as bright as you ... :bow:
