Do you think Darwin is right

I think that one of slimebeast's problems is that physics in the area being discussed sounds so weird to most laymen. I mean, a lot of that stuff TOTALLY flies in the face of 'common sense'.

Seriously, I can't know the precise momentum of something I know the exact location of? WTF is that? So slimebeast finds these explanations repellent because they are strange to him. I can see this in his arguments that basically boil down to "it sounds crazy so it can't be true".

I'm afraid, slimebeast, that they can.

lol, don't assume so much.

The problem isn't understanding.

The problem is that a multiverse theory is less reasonable to believe in than in a God.

People want to believe in it (and similar theories, despite not having a scientific basis - but hey, at least it's not a God), but they actually dont. I don't think anyone actually believes that there exists an insane amount of parallel universes with near carbon copies of each person on earth running around and living the same life.

I may be wrong, after all I'm speculating as to your mental processes, but you've apparently misinterpreted what I said. 

I never said you don't understand the proposals.  I said you find them very strange and reject them based on how bizarre they seem.  "And multiverse is a ridiculous explanation, it's just laughable that there would be 1000's of Slimebeasts out there living a near perfect copy of my life."

The multiverse theory/hypothesis (I'm not fully up to date on this stuff) is not strongly proven, but it does have support in that it's consistent AFAIK with the observed universe and the relevant mathematics.  So it does not take "faith" to believe it might be true. 

Just because people believe something strange, you seem to presume that it's just as scientifically unfounded as God.  That is not always the case, and it is not the case here.  Get over yourself. 

P.S.  There are other equally strange things in physics that we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt and in fact can demonstrate in high school science class, such as Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle as noted above.
