Did God Create Multiple Universes? (William Lane Craig)

Robert Lawrence Kuhn (host of PBS' "Closer to Truth") aks William Lane Craig about the multiverse. Questions explored: Does the multiverse contradict theism? Could God have created the multiverse? What is "branching" and "planck time" in quantum mechanics? Did God in fact create a multiverse? What would a multiverse look like?

I think it's first important to note that the "Multiverse" is pure conjecture at this point and there is no scientific evidence such a thing actually exists. I don't think it does any harm of asking IF such a thing exists, but it seems like whenever the multiverse is brought up in a discussion, it's talked about as if it's matter of fact instead of in it's proper context of being yet determined in reality.

Neat! Dr. Craig is pretty brilliant haha I thank God for him.

I don't understand the multiverse

is it that there are loads of universes connected

or is that there are loads of universes in 1 giant universe.

I feel there is no need for a multi-verse...

Assuming the Universe increasingly tunes itself...Assuming it stores data and is "self-productive"...It's possible the Data from the old universe will be copied into a new Universe...The energy will build until it finally punctures, bringing forth a new big bang...The previous information being copied into the new "Information/energy".

It is the most advanced cell division process, and the most beautiful chemical interaction ever to take place.

@TheisticThinker The big bang theory also upset a lot of anti-theists due to its support of the universe being "created"

@SupremeHero777 if you would understand what he said you would realize how dishonest and liying machine he is

@expaddler ("The real truth is probably something like this.. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (the universe). BANG!") There is no evidence showing that god "probably" exists so you cannot say that god probably exists. You could however say, " In the beginning god probably did not create the heavens and the earth." Because there is evidence of that

@emporroll134 Lol! People like you are giving Christians a bad name! Evolution and the Big Bang is proven, I'm sorry. Theories can't be "Atheistic", a theory is a proven Scientific Hypothesis. Want to know a fun fact? The Big Bang was first hypothesised by a a priest and astronomer, Goeroge Lamaitre, then it got confirmed by observations. It confirmed that the Universe had a beginning ex.nihilo, like Judeo-Chrisian theology had hold for a very long time. So Atheistic, huh?

[emporroll134]

these athiests are using these dunb theories, evolution, multiverse, and parrallel dimensions, the big bang to destroy god revelations, the old and new testament, why all the hate against god, heaven hell demons angels, especially when these theories have no proof, my god just like in revelations, its actually happening people, it might seem stupid to you but jesus is coming soon very sooooon, i beleive in next decade or so, be ready judgement day is aproaching, and most of u are gnna be sryy.

@expaddler Someone here appreciates my comment! Yeah God creates all of creation and anything bigger than the omniverse. The End.

[expaddler]

@HamonLord I love your comment!! I too think that a multi-mega-whatever-omni-multi­verse would be pretty cool. But in reality the whole notion is probably due to a few desperate athiest scientists trying to avoid proof of the beginning of the universe and the dreaded "G" word. The real truth is probably something like this.. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (the universe). BANG!

@helasmoh What are you talking about? Do you know who the Apostles are? These writings happened DURING the time that the Apostles of Christ were preaching about Jesus all across the Roman Empire. In fact, Both Clement of Rome and Ignatius of Antioch were students of the Apostles and were appointed as Bishops BY the Apostles, Specifically John of Zebedee who walked with Christ and who Christ called "my beloved". You dont know anything about the Council of Nicaea so please be quiet.
