Some tantalizing issues were debated, with opposing views vigorously defended and propped up with poignant supporting evidence. However, despite the diverse citing of philosophy, mainstream science, and theoretical physics, controversies were persistent and likely to remain unresolved, leaving participants entrenched in their preferred camps. My advice is: Get out of the rut if youre in the wrong one. There has been a very different method of coordinated effort for investigating the big picture of our universe and beyond: Going out as a psychic team with communication linkage to mission control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k43EW23L8_8 (In particular 6:00-12:50 minutes). Our reality is one of many in a multiverse. A hierarchal grouping can be perceived, but whatever the grouping comprises is beyond our perception. The analogy given is that a cell in the wall of your intestine has no concept of a tractor that affects the production of food coming by. The full story is in My Big TOE, by Tom Campbell. Unless I missed it somewhere in those 800+ pages, he does not dwell on an origin as a single point of nothingness. We are not privy to the origin.
I tend to find most fundamentalist Christians don't like the idea of a "multi-verse". for it means a near-infinite number of universes where Jesus never existed on Earth.
True as all that might be,... You do not deny that Truth is essential for mankind, in terms of adaptation to the ever changing environment, and the avoidance of extinction, a second death of kind... do you????
Multi-verse is an unfounded hypothesis right now, but regardless, if we exist in these places as is predicted, we STILL need Truth as the one tool or survival to avoid extinction.
It was Marvel comics who first coined the term multiverse, btw, because of all the alternate dimensions the superheroes went to.
I do not deny that Truth is essential for...(as stated). However, I might be leery of any hidden ingredients in "Truth." I assume that Truth is that which accords with Nature, Reality. If it is meant to include the dogma of some mortal putting words in the mouth of a personified deity-figure, I may well be skeptical of such rhetoric. As an aside: Years ago, there was a song: I met God on a downtown train. I said, Haven't you better things to do? He said, If I do my job, [what will you have to complain about?(not sure of the words)], so I let it go to hell.
Imagine that: other earths suffering from a deficiency of JC. However, a proliferation of other earths is unlikely because they are part of the many worlds concept rather than the multiverse concept. MW features a branching into two existence scenarios every time there is an alternate possibility. MW is unlikely because it is an enormous waste of resources. Instead, free will is the reality of the here and now in each universe. Everything else is either past actualized realities or probable un-actualized realities (past and future). Improbable possibilities are discarded. A multiverse is a collection of realities, some of which are similar to ours, as well as others that are dissimilar. Other realities are nonphysical relative to ours. Ours was created so as to overcome certain limitations of another model. The mastermind superbeing explores all possibilities for productive enterprise and retains those that are satisfactory. Even so, the fundie handbook is customized to our reality and thus probably wouldn't have any traction elsewhere.
