Multiverse and God

[Contemporary Protestant]

If there are an infinite number of universes then wouldn't there be a God in one of them?

You can postulate anything. Like 2 million monkeys banging on typewriters for millennia will eventually reproduce every book ever written. But you first have to understand that "mutliverse" is a concept, and doesn't mean infinite. If there were an infinite number, then everything is theoretically possible. The more finite the number, the lower the possibilities. If there are 42 universes, it doesn't mean that one of them will contain a god.

You also have to remember, as I have stated on here several times recently, that god by definition is supernatural, so it is impossible to quantify in real terms what god is, and a god could theoretically live outside of space time entirely.

What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? The answer is: don't think about it.

If there are an infinite possibility of notes making up songs, wouldn't one of them be an octopus?

What is the multiverse then, since I apparently have a flawed understanding

Edit

This is what I read

Edit
This is purely conceptual considering it's under the premise the multiverse is real,which there is not much evidence for

Here's what you're missing:  Just because a set of something is infinite, it still conforms to set rules.  So you can have an infinite number of songs because you can arrange notes an infinite number of ways, but you'll only have songs not octopi or baby back ribs.

A universe is a physical structure.  God is not.  You can stack up one, two, three, universes to infinity and you'll still have only physical structures just as you'll only have songs with an infinite combination of notes.

How would physical restraints (that we don't understand) apply in an alternate reality

[Hakurei Reimu]

The words "alternate reality" is not free license for proposing any old thing.

These videos illustrate the concept of the multiverse pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkxieS-6WuA

The thing is... even though scientists are hypothesizing the idea of a multiverse now, the information as far as I know, isn't complete enough to base other assumptions off of it.

[Contemporary Protestant]

Explain an alternate reality if any old thing cannot exist in an alternate reality, if alternate reality isn't the best word, then substitute the phrase with other dimension

[Contemporary Protestant]

According to the video, could there be an evolution of dimensions so to speak, one branching off from another indefinitely

Watch Steins;Gate. It's a good anime and it uses the idea of alternate reality really well.

Different universes are not the same as different realities, though. The idea of a different universe is almost the same as a different planet. It's composed differently. example: Our universe is expanding at a certain rate, but if another universe exists, it might expand at a different rate. Some rates might harbor more life, some zero... due to how stable the rate of expansion is for elements to come together and form life at a primordial stage.

Thanks for the help

yeah that's the first video, I forget which dimension it goes to, but the theory states that there is possibly 10 (eleven depending on how you count them) I'm not sure that that video went in to the multiverse. I think that is at the end of the second video or in another video he did.

The idea is: that we can only visually see 3 of the dimensions. time is multidirectional, but we only can see it in one direction. Nonetheless it is a spacial dimension all the same, as are the following.

[Contemporary Protestant]

My thoughts are, how do we know there is only eleven, if we can only visualize three? The point about how we are unaware of higher dimensions is fascinating

I thought the multiverse was literally referring to different planes of existence (like in Elder Scrolls) and that there are an infinite number of planes
