Prove if You Are God

Rabbi Moshe Ben-Chaim

Multiverse theorists attempt to deny God by suggesting the following: 

“There are an infinite number of universes, necessitating all possible universe variations, which ultimately means one universe must emerge perfect for human life. We live in that universe.” 

Multiverse theorists (atheists) suggest our universe is merely a chance happening and not God’s design. However, that thinking is wrong for a few clear reasons. 

One: Infinite universes do not dictate infinite variations. Without this universe’s laws of probability, nothing dictates that infinite other universes must produce infinite variations; “variation” may not apply in other universes! 

Two: Infinite splashes of ink against a wall will never create even a single page of Shakespeare, let alone a complete book. But multiverse theorists say, “Forget a book, a fine-tuned universe perfect for life—far greater than a novel—will result from random universe variations over infinite time.”  Wow. Astounding. In his desperation to deny God and escape religious life, multiverse theorists resort to absurd claims. Can chance events produce thousands of animal species, each of which knows how to find its proper prey, how to catch it, how to eat it, how to feed its young…a universe where just by chance, animal organs would evolve that match the universe in terms of the need for air, food, water and suitable temperatures? Where animals evolve with systems of respiration, digestion, blood and circulation? And we’re not even talking about a human metaphysical soul that can think…is that too a result of a randomly evolving physical universe? Can a physical evolution produce a metaphysical soul? All this is clearly absurd, a transparent attempt for man to free himself from his obligation to follow God.

Three: Multiverse theorists propose “The Infinite.” Yet, the infinite is not observed. There’s nothing with infinite size, infinite time, infinite space, and we don’t witness infinite creations. Claiming anything infinite, a scientist veers from scientific thought which must be based on observation. But suggesting the infinite, multiverse theorists refute their own theory by denying what reality dictates. There is only one universe to examine, not many universes. Multiverse theorists do not act intelligently as scientists must act.

In Isaiah’s time too there were people denying God and committing idolatry. God responds:

“And whomever is like Me, let him announce and tell us the order of creation as it took place, and predict the future” (Isaiah 44:7). 

God refutes multiverse theories for He says creation embodies knowledge, not randomness. God coerces man to expose the fallacy of idol worship by summoning man to the impossible: defend your gods by explaining creation’s ordered origins, step-by-step, and future predictions. For only the true God—the Creator—can explain how creation took place, its great ordered wisdom and knowledge of the future. “God” refers to the Creator. Only God can explain creation, and as time too is a creation, God is above time and He alone knows the future. The test of the true God is the being who can explain creation and the future.
