Comments on: Hope, Belief, and The Existence of God http://blog.dartmouthapologia.org/show/264 The blog of the Dartmouth Apologia Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:13:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Suiwen Liang http://blog.dartmouthapologia.org/show/264/comment-page-1#comment-128 Suiwen Liang Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:58:49 +0000 http://blog.dartmouthapologia.org/?p=264#comment-128 Thank you for your comment. May I add that besides the dearth of scientific evidence and superfluous complications that beset the “Multiverse” theory, even if the Multiverse existed, the Teleological Argument still stands. The question is merely posed in a different light. Out of the nigh infinite universes, why are we in the one that has the necessary conditions to permit life? The probability, again, remains astonishingly and unfathomably low. Thank you for your comment.

Most respond to this argument by appealing to the "Multiverse", which I believe fails due to Occam's Razor. As Stephen Barr wrote, "It seems that to abolish one unobservable God, it takes an infinite number of unobservable substitutes." I also would like to advance this approach.
