It becomes clear that there is no real conceptual difference between an infinite multiverse of all possible worlds and an ultimate "intelligent creator". Since by definition all possibilities must exist, therefore God must exist in at least one universe.
Thus it becomes necessary to eliminate the infinities, in order to ensure that parsimony is well served.
Spontaneous events happen. They cannot be truly accidental but must be connected with an overarching purpose[intent] IF spontaneity is not due to acausality.
Acausality demands a logical justification, hence there is the explanation of randomness and probability distributions, which ultimately lead to absurdities[infinities], therefore the universe cannot be acausal.
The only logical choice is the factor of *intelligence* as the basis of ultimate reality.

As I see it, your message 1 is bits and pieces of mumbo-jumbo. You may wish to attempt to edit it into something more substantial (feel free to post the edited version as a new message in this topic).
Or you may wish to plunge into an existing multiverse topic. There are (at least) 3 of these:
Do you believe in a multiverse?
MULTIVERSE OR UNIVERSE?
The Universe Next Door... are we really part of a multiverse
Also, you have a fairly significant history (of mumbo-jumbo IIRC) at , under another ID. I've posted to you about this before. I never "outed" you - Care to come clean about it now?
Adminnemooseus, somewhat in the "cranky mode"

Your avatar resembles an evil clown. What then, is my motivaton for "outing"?
The argument is valid, even if condensed.
I will visit the other multiverse threads also
