    About this ebook

    Have You Been Here Before? ...
    Will You Live This - and Every
    Other Possible Life - Again and
    Again Through Eternity?

    These are the astonishing possibilities seriously proposed by more and more physicists and cosmologists who believe that, if we live in an infinite and eternal Multiverse, every event must logically keep recurring through time.

    This very readable book will open your eyes to a startlingly different reality to the one you may think you know. Carefully researched, it explains what the new discoveries in cosmology and quantum physics suggest about the innumerable universes beyond our own. It also illuminates these concepts with the developing ideas of thinkers over the ages.

    What you encounter along the way could change how you see your personal destiny... and your place in the Cosmos.

      Evil Triumphs in These Multiverses, and God Is Powerless

      Mar 2, 2017

      The challenge that the multiverse poses for the idea of an all-good, all-powerful God is often focused on fine-tuning. If there are infinite universes, then we don’t need a fine tuner to explain why the conditions of our universe are perfect for life
