How do you view scientific theories of the multiverse/parallel universes, and how does it effect your faith?

Question

Or lack thereof? Does it actually bolster your faith, or does it harm it?

Answer 1

I'm a biology chick. Physics hurts my brain.

Peace.

Answer 2

Doesn't hurt or bolster my faith a bit.  I happen to be LDS and we believe in multiple creations.  We don't have enough information to know if all these creations have to be in the universe or not.

Answer 3

Are there scientific theories of a multiverse?

There are hypotheses, I know.  What scientific theory is there?  I haven't heard that scientists are certain that parallel universes exist.

Could you cite a source?  This sounds intriguing.

Answer 4

I was an atheist far before I ever heard of them.  M Theory is relatively new and it needs a bit more testing, although it looks very promising to me.  It has at least one solid tested prediction that is out of what any other theory would predict.

Give it a few years with the Large Hadron Collider and I'll let you know.  The thing hasn't even been to full power yet.

Answer 5

Neither they are far from scientific proof .

But as a Christian I believe God made the universe and all that is seen and unseen, We are far from knowing what is beyond us.

But either way it would not effect faith in Christ.

Answer 6

I don't know much about these theories. As an atheist my default position is to be skeptical about these until either a major breakthrough is found or I just get my lazy *** up to do some research.

One that I do find interesting is String Theory. It's confusing as h**l though.

Answer 7

No affect for me.

My belief in God is solid. There is a lot we do not know about God and the universe.  

Answer 8

First, these are not scientific theories. At best, they are astrological wonderings of idle soothsayers, Gypsies, and fortune tellers.

Second, if these things become theories of science, how would they affect my Christian faith? There is still a God, still a Heaven, still a Bible that teaches me.

Such grandiose dreaming and prophetizing by VanDaniken wannabes could not shake my faith.

Nice try.
