Interestingly, if no God exists, then all possible things should exist, and thus there is no end for our universe. To limit the number of actually existing things, we need some supernatural force, which allows only some worlds to exist, but which is not part of any of these worlds.
Just happened on this post while doing some research for a script I’m writing. I find it all so interesting. My education involves a lot of theology and this comment makes me think of the famous pendulum swings throughout theological history between pantheism and transcendentalism. Either God is in all things, or they are completely “above” all things and unknowable. The former is more akin to what you’re suggesting—that the things we experience are the infinite, as opposed to the latter which says we experience the limited compared to the unlimited.
I do have a question for you, though. You seem pretty confident that a multiverse exists. What leads you to be so confident in that belief?
