Maybe. But so what? You are putting man's thinking into this and it is
God's thinking which has to prevail. I assert HE is smart enough to
figure all this out -- IF the multiverse hypothesis is true.

Have you seen the David Deutsch book THE FABRIC OF REALITY? Very
interesting. The autrhor asserts (1) that the multiverse hypothesis is
true (in he ultimate sense of reality) and that Dawkin's views are
likewise true. He interweaves these two strands with arguments from the
growth of knowledge and theories of computability. But the multiverse
assertion is paramount.
