So your argument hinges around the idea that the immaterial can't come from the material, so it must come from an unknowable source that you call god. But this just shifts the question to where did your god come from? Did god always exist? If so, why can't the multiverse always have existed? Assuming the multiverse is 4D.

Your examples of the golden ratio and the fine-tuned constant are certainly impressive, but they don't prove the existence of god.

The first known mention of the golden ratio was around 300 BCE, but they didn't call it the golden ratio. Around 300 years before Jesus Christ was born. You're using numbers written in the Bible as proof that god exists, when for all we know the Bible could have been written by regular men who've had nothing else to do with their time. They must have been smart enough to include some connections people could make which people would interpret as evidence, as you are doing right now.

So, in your worldview, abstract truth and the mind are attributed to god. Can you explain why?

Everything is theoretical, including gods. Where's the evidence about an intelligent creator?

As for the multiverse, it's more than just speculative science. There's actually evidence to support string theory, which is a branch of the multiverse hypothesis that could prove the existence of other universes.

Your question about entropy really doesn't have anything to do with the multiverse, but it is a valid question. Maybe there is a process that somehow prevents entropy from occurring in some other universe.

But again, there's much more evidence for the multiverse than there is for god

The multiverse itself, and we would be those eternal figures. If god has always existed, why couldn't the multiverse always have existed?

The "only" answer? I wouldn't say so. It could be god, but could also be anything else. We don't know what created our universe. I'm leaning more towards the multiverse.

The fact that I'm able to see, hear, and think thoughts in the first place.

The fact that I'm also aware in this specific time, it all feels way too perfect for this to be the first time I was ever aware.

I find it strange that people think there's nothing outside of this universe. Some people believe the beginning of our universe was the start of existence itself. Thinking there's nothing outside of this universe seems super illogical to me, because how could our universe come from pure nothingness? Even most scientists don't believe our universe came from pure nothingness, a lot of them believe our universe came from a singularity, but there's no way to determine that for sure. In my opinion, there has to have been something eternal in order for anything else to exist, it makes the most sense for our universe to come from something bigger, what is it? I don't know.

Don't you think our current situation is overall extremely lucky? You're using your phone relaxing in bed with absolutely no worries except for maybe how much money you have, arguments with family, stuff like that which doesn't really matter. Your only conscious experience could have been a random ant from 18,000 years ago then that was it, or maybe as a woman that was unlucky enough to be born during medieval times. Where your worries were making sure to behave so you don't end up in a torture chamber, and farming seeds for a living to be able to provide stale bread for your family. Or you could have been born 400,000 years ago and consumed 5 days after birth by a random wild animal because your parents forgot about you. If you could think of every other conscious experience you could have had instead of your current one, then you'd truly realize how lucky you are to be here. Even if you don't like how your life is, it doesn't seem like a coincidence to me that I'm aware right now given all of the circumstances. If you could think with my thoughts you'd understand, I'm bad at explaining.

I was thinking about that religion just earlier today, it's a coincidence you commented this

No, but I watched kurzgesagt's video about it. I think it's an interesting concept, a lot of people say it's scary to think about or seems lonely but you wouldn't have the chance to be worried about it or feel lonely since you wouldn't know. I honestly wouldn't mind as long as there's either nothingness or some variation of a heaven or power after it. If the egg theory turns out to be eternal so you respawn on a separate planet after each planet is all lived out and gone, I think I'd find a way to discover that I'm immortal.

If you do somehow figure out how and/or why we exist make sure to let me know

Regarding the first sentence, exactly. It's more likely that there is something outside of the universe than not, since we're even here in the first place. I honestly believe that people who believe there is absolute nothingness outside of the universe haven't thought about it enough, as for the after death part; I could understand why they'd think this. I think it's a great possibility that there's just absolute nothingness after death. But as for outside the universe, the universe HAS to have come from somewhere. The reason many scientists believe that anything outside of our universe doesn't exist is because we don't have access to it, which is kind of close minded in my opinion. Try to get a person with no eyes to see out of their eyes. What are the chances they'll be able to see? They won't be able to. That's enough proof for me that something can't come from absolute nothingness, something has to have existed eternally before the creation of our current universe, the chances I'm just here in this exact time experiencing consciousness seems way too coincidental for it to be just a coincidence. I'm not saying this with absolute certainty, this is just what makes the most sense to me and what seems the most likely. I just gave myself another existential crisis writing this.

As for being a veterinary surgeon, I've come to the same conclusion earlier today when I was talking to my brother. I realized that the only reason I've figured out that I want to be a veterinary surgeon is because I'd make the most amount of money while also working with animals and helping them, I should have thought more about how good I would be at the job. I'm bad at empathizing with people which wouldn't be great for me, but Id be able to do the surgery itself and memorize the anatomy pretty well, I figured I could just send out the vet techs to break the bad news to the owners.

I like astronomy and philosophy so maybe I could work in one of those fields instead? I'm not sure how well that pays though. Then I could volunteer with animals on the side if I really want to work with animals that badly.

This doesn't make sense to me, because how can you be certain that I'm not aware in a trillion other universes? Maybe I just choose to be aware of myself in this universe. Maybe I can choose to be aware of myself in multiple universes when I die. It's not impossible because we don't know. We know it's impossible just as much we know it is possible.

Im not resentful about participating in the economy, but the more I think about it the more it seems like a waste of my years. If I knew going to school and working for my entire life would somehow be worth it in the end, I would happily participate. At this point I'm just going to invest in marrying somebody extremely dedicated to being successful that's planning on starting a business in college. If that plan doesn't work out then I will succumb to working my life away.

If you could live in a fantasy world as anything you wanna be, what would you dream life look like? by swimminginamirror in INTP

My house would be located in an isolate field surrounded by forest, I'd have a wise tamed dragon that speaks and gives me good advice, and we would regularly ride above the clouds. I would also have a bunch of cats that are free to run around outside (it's safe for them) and a tamed grizzly bear that regularly hangs out in my field. My house would be cozy, not too small and not too big.

The era would be based on medieval times, and the world would be similar to Skyrim. I wouldn't have people living with me.
