Cosmological Origins: Conscious Multiverse vs. Personal Creator

In this debate over cosmological origins, I will demonstrate that a conscious Multiverse is the most probable cause of our universe. My opponent, Apologician, will argue that a personal creator is a more probable cause. I welcome him to this challenge and hope it turns out to be an intriguing debate. Definitions: The relationship between our universe and the Multiverse: "Our universe is a bubble or membrane floating in a much larger Multiverse or megaverse of bubble-universes." - Michio Kaku (Astrophysicist) [1] Multiverse: Everything that exists, including other dimensions. . ========== The Multiverse ========== I will first establish that the Multiverse exists. The Multiverse is a cosmological theory that describes what existed before our universe and holds that multiple universes exist in an infinite hyperspace (according to Astrophysicist, Michio Kaku). Every universe is either born out of other universes, or simply emerges out of the Multiverse. (Here is an illustration to help visualize the Multiverse.) http://roberthowardweb.com... Not only is the Multiverse theory probable, but it is supported through scientific reasoning and evidence. =============== Argument from Reason =============== - Our universe was once condensed into a singularity point at the conception of the Big Bang in some sort of void. It has also been observed that our universe is a sphere as is evident by cosmic inflation in all directions. Einstein and Stephen Hawking also proposed that the universe is a soap bubble. This means that our Universe is finite, yet exists in an unknown void. - If the above is true, it would be logical to conclude that other singularity points or universes exist within this void. If not, it would beg the question as to why only one universe exists in this infinite void. It may be wrongly assumed that a single number is more parsimonious than a whole set of numbers, but in reality, the whole set is the simplest. [2] Therefore, through scientific reasoning, it can be concluded that it is necessary for a Multiverse to exist. ============= Supporting Evidence ============= - The University of Minnesota discovered a massive void of space that measured a billion light years across in 2007. [3] Physics Professor Laura Mersini-Houghton asserted that this discovery is "the unmistakable imprint of another universe beyond the edge of our own." - According to Stephen Hawking: "It is well-known that if the quantum formalism applies to all reality, both to atoms, to humans, to planets and to the universe itself then the Many Worlds Interpretation is trivially (obviously) true." [4] - David Deutsch, a legendary Oxford physicist, asserts that "The quantum theory of parallel universes is not the problem, it is the solution. It is not some troublesome, optional interpretation emerging from arcane theoretical considerations. It is the explanation, the only one that is tenable, of a remarkable and counter-intuitive reality." - The Multiverse was known by the ancients and can be found in ancient Sanskrit, Chinese, and Vedic texts. [5] This is not a new idea. (It may be weak evidence, but evidence nonetheless.) =============== Nature of the Multiverse =============== - Since the Multiverse exists and is capable of creating and sustaining highly complex universes that are finely tuned (at least ours is), it must be conscious. The chances that an unguided explosion (rapid expansion) resulted in a cosmos with highly sophisticated processes such as evolution are next to none. - Whether it's a universe or a Multiverse, it would be an absolutely absurd notion to suggest that it is dead, stupid, and mechanical. It authored all of the scientific laws that still baffle scientists to this day, assembled entire galaxies, star systems, and ecosystems, and formed advanced civilizations. - According to PhD Quantum Physicist, Amit Goswami, "Mystics, contrary to religionists, are always saying that reality is not two things -God and the world- but one thing, consciousness. […] The problem with science has always been that most scientists believe that science must be done within a different monistic framework, one based on the primacy of matter. […] quantum physics showed us that we must change that myopic prejudice of scientists, otherwise we cannot comprehend quantum physics. So now we have science within consciousness, a new paradigm of science based on the primacy of consciousness that is gradually replacing the old materialist science. […] the new paradigm resolves many […] paradoxes of the old paradigm and explains much anomalous data." - This website outlines the scientific evidence of a living, conscious Universe: http://www.mindpowernews.com... As the great philosopher Alan Watts said: "You cannot get an intelligent organism such as a human being out of an unintelligent Universe." ======= Conclusion ======= In conclusion, I have demonstrated that a conscious Multiverse is the most probable cause of our universe through scientific reasoning and evidence. My opponent must now demonstrate that a personal creator is probably responsible for the origins of the cosmos. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... [1] http://mkaku.org...
