Should I believe in the multi-verse theory over any religion ?

Question

where does science become ignorant ?

Answer 1

Well, theres nothing much to suggest the mulitverse concept in correct, unless your really believe that turning left instead of right creates a new universe. ("many-worlds" physicists are undoubtably sharpening their knives for me at this moment)

Theres nothing much to suggest that any religion offers an understanding of the universe that is consistent with reality.

Here's an idea. Decide that it really doesn't matter. No god worth the name would care if some protoplasmic speck worships him/her. Whether the universe is singe, multiple or something else wont effect your life one bit..
So say in a loud voice: I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T CARE. IT ISN'T IMPORTANT.

see how liberating that is?

Answer 2

Science does not ever become ignorant.

Science relies on proof and evidence to determine what the Universe consists of and uses mathematics to measure distances and calculate time of motion.

Although science is making great strides in determining facts and truths about what our Universe is made of and how it appears to have began, one cannot forget that the word 'theory' still exists in our understanding. We are just beginning to learn the truths about our Universe.

One does not 'believe' in a theory in the same way that one believes in a deity or deities. One either accepts the evidence of a theory or dismisses the evidence. It is not a question of faith.

Some theories are hypothetical because they lack correlation and testability, and without hard physical evidence are difficult to confirm or disprove and therefore are more theoretical than scientific in nature.

The multi-verse theory is not without it's opponents. Improved measurements of the microwave background radiation and of the large-scale distribution of matter may fortify or knock down two pillars of the multiverse – the infinitude of space and the theory of chaotic inflation – so at least part of the theory may be testable. However, chaotic inflation is not the only version of cosmic inflation that can lead naturally to the multiverse hypothesis, as "new inflation" is also eternal and offers a scientific justification of the anthropic principle. Furthermore, not all models of inflation are eternal.

Religion is based solely upon faith. However, any religion that purports to base itself upon truth should not have any conflict nor opposition towards science. Science would merely be an understanding and confirmation of those religious beliefs. I have never understood the fear of those who object that science somehow detracts or obstructs religious views unless those views are based upon falseness. Religious views sometimes deny mathematical and observaional evidence if it conflicts with a predetermined false belief. Even going so far as to censure and persecute those who present such evidence.

I believe the question should be rephrased as at what point does religion become ignorant of truth?

Answer 3

Of course not. Here is why:

1) You should not believe anything in science because science is not a religion. However, if you WANT to know HOW the world works, you NEED to KNOW science, because science is the only human way to get to KNOW how the world works.

2) Multiverses are not a theory. They are not even a model. They are simply mathematical artifacts of theories which we KNOW are only approximations on reality. Why anybody would want to believe in them religiously is beyond me. But then, it is also beyond me why anyone would want to believe in "Little Jesus".

3) Science becomes ignorant where people who do NOT KNOW science talk about it as if it were religion. Wait! That is not science becoming ignorant, that is the people who do not know science becoming ignorant. And that would be you, my friend.

Answer 4

Science is only a looking glass to see the wonders of the universe through.

If there is a multi-verse .. OK!.

Religion has a place there too.

Answer 5

so what, you're gonna take a multi verse thought, which by ways isn't substantiated by any medical information, construe the situation of the thought interior the way of changing the timelines for those separate universes, which by ways is under no circumstances what the multiverse theories say, and attempt to prepare reincarnation that's hindu by ways, no longer buddhism, involved in an attempt at bringing technological information and faith at the same time? thats extra effective than stretching issues guy.

Answer 6

I say one should not have beliefs, since they are ideas accepted without any proof. Go along with the evidence always.There is no evidence to support the muti-verse idea yet, so I form no firm opinion about it. If evidence does emerge in the future, i sahll reconsider it. It does not matter so much about such things as this, but religion is more pressing. I see no evidence to support any religion but much evidence against them. They are quite demanding of your money and your time, so I would not advise you to go along with something that is so costly to you and returns nothing real. it is easier to answer where religion is ignorant than when science is.

Answer 7

Nothing can be worse than scientology. And no religion can prove that it's the way. That's why there's so much controversy over it. Even if it turns out that a certain religion is the one, then there is no knowing wether it goes exactly like people say. People write the manuals to the religions and people are failable.

Answer 8

I can't tell you what you "should" believe. A faith system is yours to choose based on your experience.

Science becomes ignorant at the limits of verifiable knowledge. But once we know the limit is there, we have some idea what to look for next. So the limit keeps getting pushed back a little further all the time.

Answer 9

Science ignorant? Science's job is to use evidence to prove things, while religion's rides on faith. Who's ignorant?

Answer 10

If you want to you can believe in the multi-verse theory.
