Parallel Universes Necessitate a Creator

In the previous article, we learned that the universe is essentially one-of-a-kind, with its natural laws set from the beginning and unchanging, in the vein of "He gave a decree and it will not pass" (Psalms 148:6).

The universe can be likened to a computer program made of lines of code: even when new objects appear on the screen, they are merely precise manifestations of the pre-existing codes in the program. Our universe's "lines of code" are the natural laws established from its inception. Therefore, everything we see in the universe, whether a massive galaxy, a star, or just a tiny bond between molecules or two atoms, is a precise expression of these natural laws. Even the most complex chain reactions are simply the result of a law that had to find its place, adhering to the boundaries of space and time.

Theoretically, if a scientist could gather all material data, they could predict from the universe's inception the exact time and place a small stone would fall from a mountain, or in which cave gold and different metals would form. This is because the entire periodic table was encoded from the universe's start - even before there were molecules. Natural laws guided particles to combine into atoms, and subsequently into molecules, all according to the original "program" of a master programmer.

This means the universe is not random, and there has never been anything random in it.

In our universe, there are no other "possibilities." We have one universe with precise mathematical laws from its emergence, unchanging laws that require all materials to behave in the impressive way they do.

The universe does not have millions of possibilities, nor thousands, not even three.

The universe is not like a card game or a lottery draw. The universe is not a winning number that came up in a dice game, but rather like a fixed, pre-coded software. "Randomness" has never existed in it.

There is no probability question of "one in a billion" or "one in a thousand billion," but simply put: it is either one or zero.

Either there is creation, or there is no creation. Either there is lawfulness in the universe, or there is none - these are the only two choices.

And since there is creation, and there are natural laws, we have a scientific proof of design by a Creator and lawmaker.

Indeed, some people ponder the imaginary idea of other universes, realities unknown to us. This notion is popular in science fiction under the name "parallel universes" (multiverse), but it is not accepted in physics or astronomy, as there is no direct or indirect evidence to support its existence. The idea of additional universes is nothing more than wild imagination.

Prof. George Ellis writes: "There is no possible way of astronomical observation of other universes. The claim for their existence would be indirect at best, and even if there were additional universes, they would leave the great mysteries of nature unexplained."

[George F. R. Ellis, "Does the Multiverse Really Exist?" Scientific American]

Nonetheless, the belief in parallel universes does not offer any logical explanation for the very lawfulness governing their existence: for each of those imaginary "universes" would have had to be born out of a certain lawfulness, a logic that required both the appearance of each universe and its specific behavior, in this manner and not in any other. But who is the ultimate "cause of causes" that creates universes and governs reality with its laws?

The creator of the universe is a legislator with intent: "He did not create it in vain, he formed it to be inhabited" (Isaiah 45:18), otherwise, there would be no lawfulness or mathematics in any universe - nowhere and at no time.

We must remember that the concept called "lawfulness," by its definition, is a result of a legislator and limiter, while the concept called "randomness," by its definition, is a description of a lack of lawfulness and boundaries. There is no "mistake" or "chance" in a reality governed by clear laws and boundaries.

Just as there is no chance in our universe, because every movement is essentially a necessary action of the natural laws, there is no chance in any imaginary universe that operates according to laws.

This statement applies to every universe or reality we can imagine: without a legislator and limiter behind the entire reality - no universe would have a law, there would be no form of any restrictive mathematics, no design, no planning, just chaos, scattered disorganized particles in all possible universes.

For this, we need only one example of an orderly universe,

one piece of evidence from the existence of a single natural law in the universe,

even just one single atom in an empty black space -

to prove the existence of a limiting and legislating creator for the entire reality.

Professor David Weiss, a physician and cancer researcher, once said in an interview a beautiful statement: "Science deals only with what exists. Where did all this originate from at the beginning? Science does not deal with that. Now, as a scientist, I look for order in the world, whether in immunology or cell biology, I must assume various things that cannot be proven, to reach a comprehensive explanation. As an example, we talk about millions of lymphocyte tribes, each producing its antibody. To explain not only the creation of the world, but also the fact that this atom, this molecule, exists, and instead of exploding, it exists in an orderly manner - I must assume the existence of the great architect" (from "Haaretz" supplement 26/7/96).

Even a single law in a solitary atom thus indicates the "cause of causes," which is not random.

It seems that in any possible imagination we can conceive, it is impossible to escape the conclusion that the force behind the laws of the universe, or behind the laws of any other imaginary universe, is a limiting and legislating force whose plan must come to fruition exactly as decided, without error or chance.

"He who planted the ear, will He not hear? He who formed the eye, will He not see?" (Psalms 94:9). He who creates a law, is He not a legislator? He who creates a planned universe, is He not wiser than all wise?
