Yes, Stryder, it is often hard to debate philosophy when people are intransigent. I just try to communicate my points effectively, and leave it at that. Arguing philosophy is pointless because concrete proofs often don't exist (as is the case here) and it's ultimately up to each person to subjectively decide what they believe (that is, if they believe in free will... :P ).

You stated the faith based perspective well, and while I might have more to say on the subject it would mostly be semantics, so I'll let it drop. Debating the truth of theology is too weighty a topic to even think about discussing it seriously here.

Quote:

By theorizing a multiverse(cosmology) exists how would it work(use logic the best you can).

The human experience is limited to four dimensions (3D space + time = 4), so it is hard to describe something that necessarily involves more than this... A multidimensional group of universes would have to add further dimensions to what we know of reality, and the laws governing the relationships would determine the way things work. I might guess at something, but my imagination is not that creative.

BTW, I believe that time is linear (making backwards time travel impossible), and that there is one universe: ours. (Of course I could be wrong).

Are all the deep questions / answers making anyone's brain hurt?
