The multiverse theory (the idea that our universe is just one among many other universes out there) is an exceedingly popular idea among science fiction fans. I mean, think of all the movies or star trek episodes that take advantage of multiple, parallel worlds?
But the multiverse is also popular with atheists. Why? Even though there's no scientific evidence for it (and can never be), these champions of rationalism prefer the multiverse theory because it seems to solve two phenomena that are often attributed to God: the beginning of the universe and the fine tuning of the universe.
But does the multiverse really solve these problems? (Hint: the answer is no.)
