A comment on What If I’m Wrong? (2023). Parent comment
Q: Why do lions exist and unicorns don't, even though it could have been otherwise?
A: Because of the physical laws and initial conditions of our universe.
Q: Why these particular physical laws and initial conditions and not something else?
A: Impersonal First Cause
Q: Could there be other universes with unicorns or anti-gravity?
A: Possible but unknown. This multiverse could still be based on an impersonal First Cause.
My takeaway remains the same: A personal God is a logically valid possibility, but not a logical necessity, contrary to what the book claims.
