I'll give you that... But I am arguing against it, not for it.
But... I'd like to add one observation that is verifiable emperically. And that is that we do know that there is one universe. We don't know whether or not there are others...
We know that there is at least one.
But your argument comes down to {X} can't happen because then {Y} would be false.
You assume {Y} to be true and therefore {X} can't happen.
You have no other evidence that {X} can't happen -- as you point out we don't know whether or not there are others.
The fact that there could just as easily be others as not means your assumption of {Y} being true is a false assumption.
...morality has nothing to do with the number of universes. It is either the same for all, or it just doesn't exist.
Agreed! My apologies for assuming you to be in the other camp.
What you assume is that an absolute morality applies. It does not. The example gave by Taz shows a relative morality applicable in each alternate universe. Just as it is a relative morality that people use in this universe, that allows people to change channels when they see ads for help organizations for starving children in 3rd world countries. We already -- in this one known universe -- have the situation you said couldn't happen?
And I am really not interested in theories that cannot be proven within the bounds of what can be known. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT CAN BE CONCEIVED OF MATHEMATICALLY THAT DO NOT NECESSARILY CORROSPND TO REALITY.
Agreed. Like dark stuffs ... but
nothing is proved by math theories, what they can show you is possibilities. That is where testing of predictions comes in.
And either way you cut it, what we
know about this universe is a small fraction of reality.
Enjoy.
