Blog Article

The Custom Tote Bag multiverse is often invoked by naturalists to avoid a design inference from the fine-tuning of the universe.I argue that positing that we live in a naturalistic multiverse (NM) makes it plausible that we currently exist in a problematic skeptical scenario, though the exact probability that we do is inscrutable.This, in turn, makes agnosticism the rational position to hold concerning the reliability of our reasoning skills, the accuracy of our sensory inputs, and the veracity of our memories.
