At last some sense! I agree with you on the above.
The problem I have is God. The universe looks designed so I think God probably exists, but designed seems incompatible with eternal. Unless God is somehow timeless and created the eternal universe timelessly. But how does anything change without time?
Well if you ask me, when all is said and done, we are left with two major options (unprovable guesses):
- God did it, using magic
- our finite universe is part of an infinite "multiversal" field / multiverse
(Some desperate folks are also quite fond of the simulated universe idea, but that one is quite unlikely, and actually collapses into one of the two above options.)
I don't believe in magic, I think it's best to extrapolate from what we already know exists, our universe. So multiversal field / multiverse it is, as the best guess.
In an infinite multiversal field, the probability of our world accuring is 100%, so that takes care of the fine-tuning problem.
(Which brings up the next question: yeah but why this world out of the infinite possibilites, is there something "unique" about it, in some sense?)
