God or the Multiverse?

Something fundamental has changed in the ongoing conflict between religion and scientists. Notice that I didn’t write “science”, because the conflict between religion and science is not genuine. The true conflict is with atheist scientists who portray science as indicating God doesn’t exist when, in fact, science convincingly points directly towards God.

In the past few hundred years, secular atheists have characterized religious believers as gullible simpletons who deny their rational faculties and blindly believe in imaginary nonsense. However, the status quo has dramatically reversed.

Over the past few decades, more and more scientific discoveries of fine-tuning and design in physics have been made. This culminated with the 1998 discovery of the fine-tuning of the cosmological constant, which left those who understood the implications of these surprising discoveries with two clear choices.

The first is to accept the convincing argument from fine-tuning and design in physics that convincingly indicates an intelligent cause—God—purposefully made our amazing universe and its incredible laws. As you probably know, this choice is anathema to most scientists who have cultivated a deep-seated faith that God does not exist.

The main alternative left to atheist scientists is a multiverse—an infinite number of unobservable universes in which everything possible happens. It can be clearly demonstrated that the multiverse fails to be a good scientific theory. It is literally a theory that states there really are other universes in which fairy tales happen. Seriously.

People do not realize that the tables have now turned. Religious people believe in one complex and ordered universe with one intelligent cause that fine-tuned and designed it. Atheist scientists believe in unintelligent laws of physics that blindly produce an infinite number of unobservable universes, including one with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

When faced with this choice, what should a reasonable person who follows the evidence believe? Which is rational, and which is clinging to imaginary fantasies? Things have fundamentally changed.
