How would a multiverse help to beat the odds?
probabilistic resources and thus increase the probability for a natural origin of life, as illustrated by examples from poker and evolution. But even if we assume a multiverse (and there is no direct observational evidence either for or against this assumption) a claim for detectable design-directed action could still be scientifically supported. How? We could logically conclude that “design-action is probable” if, in the future, scientists conclude that a natural origin of life is so highly improbable that it is basically impossible — analogous to the extreme improbability, with only undirected natural process, of a Boeing 747 arising from a garbage dump in Seattle, filling with passengers, and flying to Miami — so this would NEVER happen even in an immense multiverse, and therefore design-directed action is necessary to form a living organism. But it would be difficult, even if we had knowledge from a super-science, to prove this natural-impossibility in a way that would be accepted
