The Multiverse Theory.

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.

    You'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.
