PhysicistRob Sheldon writes to draw our attention to Sean Carroll’s TED talk.
Carroll, a recent convert to the multiverse, guest authored a piece for us here at Uncommon Descent: “No God Needed” CalTech physicist responds to Uncommon Descent’s questions.
Sheldon notes,
Notice how he starts with the problem (he attributes to Boltzmann) that the universe is a very special place that cannot be explained by a random event. Fascinating to watch him circle around the issue of design without ever mentioning it.
number of stars in Milky Way galaxy = 100 billion
number of galaxies in observable universe = 100 billion
Age of universe = 100 billion (in dog years)
Carroll blogs at Cosmic Variance.

Sounds like the “multiverse” faithful are hoping if they use the term often enough, it will seep into the public consciousness and become a “fact” like they did with the darwinian myth…just don’t ask them to produce evidence to support their assertions, or you’ll be labelled a “flat earther”, a gravity and holocaust-denier, denied tenure, denied invitations to give commencement addresses, etc etc etc… in other words, EXPELLED.
