Abstract:

An important problem in modern cosmology is the universe's fine tuning, anthropic principle and their relations with explanation of the world. A plenty of thinkers and physicists agree with the theistic explanation and a few of them, suggest the multiverse theory as an alternative one. The present issue is to study and evaluate this suggestion through a rational analytical method. The result is that the multiverse, as an alternative explanation of the world, is affected by several objections. It lacks scientific standards such as clarity, experimental verification, falsifiability, simplicity, predictability; as consisting of some ambiguities and additional presuppositions. The mentioned idea, on the other hand, is objected to by several fallacies like the inverse gambler's fallacy and Boltzmann brain paradox. In addition, not only is not the multiverse an alternative of Divine explanation of the world, but is completely concordant with it. The theistic explanation of the world is prefered by several aspects, such as simplicity, rational justification and inclusive horizon of explanation. Besides, it is inevitable, for the multiverse, like the universe theory of the world.
