Letter: Deities versus multiverses

Published 20 January 2016

From Michael Lucas

Rubenstein appears to conclude that the traditional Jewish/Christian/Muslim view of God being separate and distinct from the universe is incompatible with the notion of an infinite universe or multiverse: if either were infinite, there would be no room left for a separate and distinct God. But we know there are many infinities. The set of all integers is infinite, yet is a subset of the set of rational numbers. It is possible for there to be mutually exclusive infinities: that which is uncreated (God) and that which is created (the universe or multiverse).
