Quote:There might be billions of universes in which it isn't possible for life to exist. We obviously are not in one of those universes.
Yes! Or, alternately, there have been billions of years in which life did not exist...we are not in one of those epochs.
Quote: But there is the problem of what God was doing during the infinite years before he created our universe.
Well, he's God. Who are we to understand what he does (or wants) to do? I can buy the idea of a being who wouldn't need to create us. That, however, raises the question of why he did create us.
