If there's an infinite number of Universes ...

[dogtag]

as the Scientists surmise, could it be there's a God for each
Universe or just one God for the whole lot ? If his job seems
tough listening to billions of prayers every five minutes, just
think how tough it would be if he had to handle all of them.
Assuming God made all these Universes, why would he create
such a nightmare of a job for himself ? Or did somebody else
make them and God's just the manager ?
It's not a job I'd want but I guess somebody has to do it
otherwise we'd have chaos. Oh, that's right we do have chaos.
Not trying to offend anyone, just thinking out loud about
something that can drive you crazy because there's no answers
just guesses.
Or could it be that we're just electric impulses on some Alien's
game board.

There is far more that we don't know and understand than what we do know.

Time as we know it means nothing in the afterlife. A thousand years to us may seem like a second to him so as far as handling it, tough job and chaos I don't think there will be an issue. As far as we know, God doesn't tire, become overloaded or give up.

Time as we know it was created by man, not God. Mankind saw there were season's, day and night and started breaking it down into hours and minutes. The wages of sin is death and that began with Adam and Eve with the prohibited apple. Had they not sinned would they have lived forever? Is it even possible for mankind to not sin?

It states in the Bible that God created the Heavens and Earth. Heavens with the "s" appears to be plural so I feel we can assume there is only one God who made all the universes, solar systems and planets.

My 2 cents

There aren't an infinite number of universes -- because "universe" means "everything that exists." If other "universes" exist, they are all part-an-parcel of the same universe.

We have Solar Systems, Galaxies and Universes - why stop there ?
We might ask where all this stuff came from in the first place, but
we're told it's always existed. So what does the word Always mean ?
It means infinity, so if we have infinity then everything is infinite
including Universes.

Not in my book.
Funny thing is; nobody knows any more about this stuff than I do.
It's all conjecture and guesswork and mine is as good as anybody else's

There was a professor of engineering who used to say, "If you can't draw it, you can't understand it."

Now the idea that there are multiple "universes" is based on String Theory. Strings are particles that vibrate -- but the problem is they vibrate in 10 dimensions (plus time). Draw a 10-dimensional object.

You can't. So how can we understand String Theory and its ramifications if we can't draw them? We have to draw them with words -- and to do that we have to use words precisely. "Universe" means "everything that exists." Therefore there can only be one universe.

Now there may be multiple "realms" within the universe, but there cannot be other universes.

Sounds like world salad to me.

[dryheat]

That's funny.

[Vern Humphrey]

Sounds like world salad to me.

That's exactly what it is -- a word picture depicting what we cannot visualize or draw.

Mr. Humphrey, what you have written is very logical. It appears the doubters can not see the logic in your argument and therefore are unable to accept your logic you propose. Those of us that believe in God, believe that He represents all things good. Also that God is all powerful and the center of all knowledge because He is the Creator. All that he creates is perfect. If creation was imperfect and was created by God, he would not be God. The meaning of God is Perfection.

[Roadkingtrax]

What if God was an invention of Man?

So far a perfect system does not exist, so its existence was merely created to explain the things beyond our senses...so we could keep going without fear.
