So, something hit me earlier about the Multiverse Theory. For any of you who don't know the Multiverse Theory is that every time you make a decision (Or anything at all happens, really) a new timeline is created and that any possible outcome exists in another dimension.
So, whilst being the fedora-toting, liberal, agnostic that I am, I noticed one of the many athiest/theist wars on a website, after looking into theories about time mechanics and something clicked.
Due to the Multiverse Theory there must be a universe where there is an omnipotent and omnipresent God, meaning that there's no possibility God doesn't exist but also no possibility of it existing as a true God would have the ability to cross such dimensions (As they created them). I've thought myself into a paradox that has absolutely not effect on my life.
Send help.

An infinite amount of possibilities =/= all possibilities. You can have an infinite non-repeating series of number without ever including the number 7 for example. 10110011100011110000...

Edited by God: 5/8/2014 7:23:04 PMThere are many versions of the multiverse theory. The one actually supported by notable physicists only says that the universe may extend much farther beyond our Hubble volume (taking after the fact that it's only been a century since we thought the Milky Way was the entire universe) and that cosmological constants like the strength of gravity may be variable throughout it.

Edited by BannedPiranha: 5/8/2014 7:20:50 PMYou're referring to Everett's interpretation of quantum mechanics, not multiverse theory. Going to go ahead and burst some bubbles; for something to exist in an alternate timeline it has to be physically possible. So you can have a timeline where the Cold War wasn't cold but probably not one with Pokemon. Time lines and other universes would also be entirely causally disconnected. Making them pretty much useless as a concept and meaning that nothing in those other universes could interact with ours.

no there is only one universe dis 1 adn it wus create bi god
-
The only planes of existence I'm interested in are your mother's.

No, while there may be an omnipotent being, there is no evidence that said being created everything. Also, if the Multi-verse theory is true, then there is also Cthulhu, so should I prostrate myself before the Many Angled Ones as well?
-
I thought the multiverse theory is simply that there are multiple universes. Not that a new timeline is created every time something happens. Are you high OP?

There's no magical sky wizard.

Sounds supernatural, and therefore not real. And it's not a theory either, unless it has any evidence, which it most definitely doesn't. In this case it's just an idea.

and what if when you stare into the void, the void stares back?

The multiverse theory is stupid...

it also means there's a universe where pokemon exist
