How can a person be a “naturalist” and yet believe in a supernatural realm? (2) there is absolutely no evidence for the existence of the multiverse. Among other issues with the multiverse idea: (1) belief in the multiverse is belief in unseen realms beyond the known, natural Universe-i.e., belief in the supernatural. He warned cosmologists to accept the inevitable implications of the evidence: “If you don’t want God, you’d better have a multiverse.” 5 The multiverse has, therefore, been latched onto by many naturalists to try to explain away the “difficulties” facing physicists without resorting to God. A positive acknowledgement from hostile witnesses is powerful testimony to the truth of the theists’ position.Īccording to cosmologist Bernard Carr of Queen Mary University in London, when the evidence in the Universe is examined, a supernatural explanation is demanded. ![]() It is one thing for theists to provide positive evidences for the existence of design in the Universe, but it makes the job much simpler for theists when naturalists themselves admit evidences for design. Naturalists: “The Universe Looks Designed!”Ĭonsider the following points in addition to the many specific examples of design we see in the Universe. While we typically examine evidences of design on Earth and our solar system, when we look at the design in the Universe as a whole, the number of evidences increases. ‘Everything designed has a designer’ is an analytically true statement.” 4 There are an infinite number of examples of design that present themselves to us when we study the natural realm-a problem for Ricci and his atheistic colleagues, to be sure. 1 Stephen Battersby, writing in New Scientist, discusses the anthropic principle and our “Goldilocks universe,” asking, “Why does the universe have properties that are ‘just right’…?” 2 In the words of Princeton professor emeritus and theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson, “As we look into the universe and identify the many accidents of physics and astronomy that have worked together to our benefit, it almost seems as if the universe must in some sense have known that we were coming.” 3 Bottom line: the Universe appears to be designed for us to live in it.Ītheistic philosopher Paul Ricci summed up the Teleological Argument for the Existence of God well when he said, “t’s true that everything designed has a designer…. The Anthropic Principle in secular cosmology is a recognition by scientists that the Universe appears to be just right for life, and specifically, humans. ![]() The existence of a Universe Designer still stands as the most logical explanation for its origin, and the naturalistic community cannot help but concede it. The Anthropic Principles in cosmology states that the Universe as a whole appears to have been designed for humans to inhabit it.
