"To then argue that the Multiverse of String Physics means there is no need for a Divine Selector is just daft - it replaces one "infinite" complexity [aka God] for another [the Multiverse.] So it's a meaty enough view to allow atheists and theists to argue endlessly wth no hope of easy resolution - which us agnostics have been saying for years."

If you accept that our universe is just one of a myriad of universes randomly created in a multiverse then in the context of our single universe, the need for a Creator goes away. However as Adam rightly implied: Who created the multiverse?

From the context of the philosophy of science, this multiverse business has a huge flaw in being an untestable hypothesis. Also I don't think it advances our understanding because there is still the issue concerning where the muliverse came from and what are the rules governing the creation of individual universes. I would prefer to see a Theory of Everything that starts from "chaos without causation" and builds up a physical framework from there. I suspect that the Laws of Physics originated from some set of principles that are akin to Boolean Algebra. Somehow a discrete point out of chaos has a self referential relationship that allowed it to propagate itself in time using chaos as a driver (think two transitors in a flip-flop circuit). This self propagation serves as the basis for causation and dimensional relationship between the propagated points. I believe something like Conway's Game of Life could be used to model the universe at its most primitive level. Needless to say, I'm not smart enough to do anything other than wave my arms and spew nonsense about this concept.
