Granting certain premises he finds attractive. Siegel asks: If there really is another version of you out there in a parallel universe, what can that teach us about reality?:
If we presume that:
● the hot Big Bang, which gave rise to the observable universe as we know it, was preceded by cosmic inflation
● all of the particles and fields within the universe are fundamentally quantum in nature
Then it follows that the existence of a multiverse is all but inevitable. It opens up a rich realm of physical possibilities that include not only parallel universes, but also an infinite number of them out there. If that’s the case, there could even be parallel universes identical to our own, where reality “forks” each time a quantum outcome occurs. Here’s what’s possible within a scientific consideration of the multiverse.

Essentially, Siegel, the person who has Big Problems with something as widely accepted as the Big Bang, is quite prepared to believe in all this far out stuff.
That is where the naturalist project is just now.
