Unless you try to say that only one of the parallel universes is the "true" universe with the soul(s), and makes choices, and the rest are soulless copies. Who is then to say that our current universe of awareness is the true on and not the copies? For if they are indeed constantly splitting parallel universes, then they must act, and even think cognitively just as much as we do. And then if this is true, there is then morally nothing wrong with traveling to other times (aka. parallel universes) and commiting random atrocities as they are nothing but hollow husk copies! So we must then have faith not to have faith! To believe in parallel universes, you must believe in either lack of choice (therefore "soul") or you must believe in "unliving" beings. Either way you go, the science is fairly "anti-religion", but hey, what science isn't? It's a fairly brutal and blunt face of science, and no one likes to bring it up, but to know how the bad guy ends up in jail, you must know all the clues to convict him! Clear Skies, Buldric
Hi Buldric,

You are absolutely correct about the parallel Universe Scenario, but here is a kicker, I'm sure you have heard of Steven Hawking's last meeting?
And I am sure you have heard of Hawking Radiation.

One of the basic principles of Physics is that information can never be lost, this is one of the problems with Black holes, Mr Hawking's last speech tried to explain this away by saying that information is not lost in a black hole because there are parallel Universes where no Black holes exist, thus no information is truly lost ,its in another parallel universe.

As expected this did not go over too well with the theorists in attendance. he has come full circle with the problem he introduced many years ago with this current theory.
